This touches me so close to the heart! Massachusetts handed all pregnant women over to the abortionists years ago, by requiring us to go to clinics outside the hospitals that handed women forms to "terminate" in advance of getting prenatal care.
In 1994 I went to a meeting between women who had natural miscarriages and were being treated punitively by the Berkshire Medical Center if they requested any kind of closure: Baptism, medical examination for birth defects, etc.
One woman was forced to have her miscarriage at home because the doctor on call did not want to leave a party. The woman made the call to the hospital as appropriate when the miscarriage started, and when the doctor called back and told the woman the hospital would not look at her she did not know this was unauthorized. She was both Catholic and aware enough to attempt to preserve the fetusses (twins) to allow for a diagnosis of the disorder as well as to allow for a Baptism. The doctor angrily accused her of filth for touching old tissues, berated her while she was in the midst of the miscarriage, and denied her access to emergency help should the copious bleeding that accompanies a miscarriage become life-threatening. There were half a dozen people at that meeting, and several women told similar stories of being verbally abused for using the word "baby" and for trying to find out why they were having miscarriages.
The Catholic Church did nothing to protect these women, who included Catholics. The woman with the twins was Catholic and had to rely on an old priest personally choosing to offer a Mass for her babies while the Catholic Church turned its back completely on these women. It turned out that they could have had a very strong case against the mistreatment of the women with desired and supported pregnancies. It turned out that the reason for the refusal of Berkshire Medical Center to allow miscarriages to be treated normally was not only violating federal standards for tracking disease but was the direfct result of pressure from GE to hide the PCB spill that had been going on continuously for 15 years by that time. The pattern of certain types of birth defects resulted in a 25% miscarriage rate for that county.
The Catholic Church was supporting the establishment of womens' centers and the nuns were working with these womens centers to prevent accurate statistics about miscarriages by deliberately punishing women for attempting to treat fetal deaths as seriously as other deaths. GE needed the womens' centers and the abortionists to help keep the birth-defect pattern from showing up at the CDC and flagging the PCB spill that was also causing adult cancers.
Massachusetts is the home of the genocidal church, the Unitarians, who controlled the ecuмenical "Interfsaith" groups at that time and the Catholics supported them, (they are still among the most horrific genocdal groups, supporting the murder of live ozegen-breathing infants aborted at term!) and also the home of several other z-p-g cults that are genocidal. The archbishop there, Sean O'Malley, is right now being accused of initiating euthanasia against elderly priests in his diocese.
The Cahtolic Church in Pittsfield, those parishes, delieberately turned a blind eye to what the women were experiencing because they would not help at all, except for the one elderly priest who was only willing to secretly say a Mass for the infants' souls. Even now as I write this, I am fully aware that one of the worst pro-abortion activists who attacked one of the women at that meeting is strumming her guitar at folk masses.
This is all well docuмented. The manager at berkshire Medical Center was fired right after those meetings for calling for an investigation of the abuse by ER/prenatal doctors of women who were trying to bear children. The "Superfund" fight with GE over the poisoning of the Housatonic Watershed featured a prominent nun-activist who would go to stockholders' meetings and make big fat speeches against the evil capitalists, but would she help her Catholic sisters facing GE? No! She refused to introduce the horrible abuse into her speeches, because she knew the next question would be: why didn't those parish priests and their bishops speak up?
We Catholics need to force the parishes to accountability for their failure to support Catholic personnel as well as their failure to support Catholic mothers. We need to be willing to tell the prolife men to shut up long enough to get the care required by women who are not trying to have abortions in the first place.
The Catholic Pro-Lifers are responsible for this. The women experiencing miscarriages were DIRECTED TO THE RACHEL PROJECT AS IF THEY HAD SOUGHT ABORTIONS!!!!!
THE FILTHY BASTARDS CALLING THEMSELVES "PROLIFE" ARE RIGHT IN THERE WITH THE MURDERING DOCTORS, ATTACKING WOMEN WHO TRY TO PRESERVE THEIR PREGNANCY TO TERM!
The Massachusetts Catholics are among the LEADERS of the genocide party, the Democrats, in the USA.
The Massachusetts Bishops are all guilty of participation in the genocide of the innocent children and the attacks on innocent young mothers alongside their guilt for supporting the pedophiles (and these crimes are all connected in their dark damned souls).
There is no escaping the fact that the filth that comes out of Boston is nothing related to the Catholic faith. The horrors in the ER started for the most part in that very Catholic city.
Traditional Catholics were run out of those parishes and those hospitals years ago. The Franciscans were at the center of that, and still are.
If you want to fix the problems in the hospitals, you are going to have to start with the bloody bishop Sean O'Malley and the bloody Franciscan hospitals.
