You should also be aware that Catholic hospitals will not provide emergency contraception in case of rape, or--for that matter--any contraception at all.
Provision of contraception in areas where few providers are available continues to be a problem, and not just in the case of Catholic hospitals. For example, some pharmacists refuse, on religious grounds, to fill prescriptions for birth control pills, and some state laws support their refusal. This is definitely a problem if you're a woman in a small rural town and the next-closest drug store is 100 miles away. --Constance Any except the gov't hospital. For profit and nonprofit are equal except if you're a high risk OB/ sick mother case and would prefer the mother be saved by sacrificing the baby should it come to that. In that case you'd want to avoid certain religious affiliated hospitals.
