Catholic Health Initiatives-Iowa, a faith-based health care provider, is arguing in a medical malpractice case that the loss of an unborn child does not equate to the death of a “person” for the purpose of calculating damage awards.
In Iowa, court-ordered awards for noneconomic losses stemming from medical malpractice are capped at $250,000, except in cases that entail the “loss or impairment of mind or body.”
Attorneys for the CHI and MercyOne hospital are arguing the cap on damages still applies in cases where the “loss” is that of a fetus or unborn child.
CHI’s status as a nonprofit, tax-exempt entity is based on its stated mission of providing health services “in the spirit of the gospel.” The ethics guidelines it approved in 2018 state that the corporation is committed to “respect the sacredness of every human life from the moment of conception until death.”
Hey hey now. Dont be bashful. You and your ilk has screamed that it does. In your eyes, you killed a person. You can’t switch when its uncomfortable for you.
Unfortunately, they can and will.
Just dig up their past statements. They’ve definitely said shit on abortion before, they’re religious they can’t help it.
Tells you what this is really about.
Could this case set a precedent if they win? Will that allow abortion to become legal?
No, Trump would immediately sign an executive order even though its supposed to be beyond his powers and anyone with a lick of status will bend over like they were just struck with the rod of God.
No.
Like, it could be a brick in the road, but it won’t.
