Not necessarily. If a Catholic hospital's the only one in town and someone has an emergency, that's where they'll go. But that's beside the point, bonehead.
If you think all Catholic institutions toe the line drawn by Vatican officials, you have a lot to learn about the church. A lot of it depends on what the particular bishop decrees. There are conservative bishops, liberal bishops and those in between. Catholicism is no different from any other religion or school of thought, the man-made rules are interpreted differently by those in charge. Catholic hospitals have provided contraception and done sterilizations despite what you think. Furthermore, you and your conservative cronies just confirm my opinion that it's the woman who always has to carry the burden of bogus childbearing restrictions imposed by men. Much has been said about stupid women spreading their legs, using abortion as birth control, etc. Find me a comment by some Catholic kahuna who chastises men for using condoms or getting vasectomies. And then do some research on the Catholic Church and contraception through the ages, before you again open your piehole about issues you have precious little knowledge of.
