It might be added that many medical workers have been hoping the same thing with regard to Catholic hospitals that continue to perform vasectomies and tubal ligations. For years, it also was the only hospital in Burbank where women could receive abortions, tubal ligations and other procedures not offered at what is now Providence St. In the case of Kingston Hospital and Northern Dutchess Hospital, that would mean an end to elective abortions, distribution of contraceptives and sterilizing operations such as tubal ligations and vasectomies as well as adaption of Catholic policies dealing with end-of-life issues for the terminally ill. |
