David, that same Catholic Hospital you mentioned, is the same one that heavy handedly convinced the single daughter of a friend who was raped in their parking lot to not take a morning after pill and "its the Lord's way" if she were to become pregnant. The Hospital insisted on "counseling" her through her situation. She did become pregnant from that rape and was forced to give birth to a Down's Syndrome baby that she, though wouldn't trade has had to raise alone.

Your Mother's fear of that Hospital was accurate.

"The Lord's way" has given misguided authority to too many for too long. As an ordained, graduate Seminarian I have long been angered by the abuse of Scripture to force specific ideologies upon people. All "in the name of Christ", no less!

Indeed. Christ had/has a good many things to say to hypocrites.

"Beware the hypocrites." Beware the wolves who come to you dressed in sheep's cloth. I tend to shy away from quoting Holy Scripture because so many who do are the self-righteous apostates.
