Reproductive Care in American Catholic Hospitals

Beschreibung

One out of every six patients in the US is treated in a Catholic hospital that follows the policies of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops. Drawing on interviews with patients and providers, this book reveals both how the bishops' directives operate and how people inside Catholic hospitals navigate the resulting restrictions on medical practice.
