'A risk of harm': Catholic hospitals’ ban on tube-tying

Imagine you're an OB/GYN doing a C-section on a woman who's had six previous C-sections. She says she's done having kids and has asked to have her tubes tied at the same time as the C-section, which is standard procedure. But if you work at a Catholic hospital, you can't do it?they officially prohibit sterilization. "I'm thinking, you know, if I tie her tubes I'm going to get kicked off the staff. And I just don't think that's right," said a doctor who faced just such a scenario. And she isn't alone in her frustration.
