Would a true Catholic ever say this:
"If you are thinking about having an abortion, it's best not to wait"?
No. Of course not.
But unfortunately that is what the Catholic health care provider PeaceHealth is telling people on its web site.
Planned Parenthood is listed too... as a place "to get help."
The PeaceHealth web site also features pages about abortion in these terms: "This topic is about ending a pregnancy."
You
see, PeaceHealth is a big Catholic health care system on the West Coast
with 10 hospitals, 50 medical clinics, and 850 providers.
Respectfully urge them to remove all abortion referral information.
It's easy and fast.
As you well know, abortion and abortion referrals go against God's Law...
... and the most basic right to life.
And that's why a pro-life employee at PeaceHealth (who wants to remain anonymous) asked TFP Student Action for help.
"If I
could get the referral page to Planned Parenthood removed from the
Catholic PeaceHealth Patient Education pages, I would be happy," she
wrote. "I work for PeaceHealth and have been lobbying with our Ethics
Director to no avail. The answer I have been given is that there is a
Disclaimer (in a tiny font)."
"It
is a disgrace for a Catholic health care group," she continued, "and I
cannot fathom why it is so difficult for them to update it to reflect
what is supposed to be our ethos."
PeaceHealth's mission statement is very clear.
It
says: "We carry on the healing mission of Jesus Christ by promoting
personal and community health, relieving pain and suffering, and
treating each person in a loving and caring way."
Which
is another good reason to ask PeaceHealth's Peace Island Medical Center
to stop listing Planned Parenthood as a "partner organization."
Yet
oddly enough -- after searching -- I couldn't find a single pro-life
resource or crisis pregnancy center listed anywhere on PeaceHealth's web
page.
It's sad.
So let's speak up for the unborn now.
And
urge PeaceHealth to remove Planned Parenthood and all pro-abortion
language and referrals from its web site -- today -- immediately.
Will you also share this alert with your pro-life friends, please?
Thank you so much for defending the unborn.
God will reward you.
