A Superior Court judge has ruled hospitals must be forced to do abortions. The ACLU sued two hospitals—no surprise there—to force them to do abortions if they offer maternity care and receive tax dollars. All hospitals receive some degree of tax support, so Judge Lewis’ ruling means all hospitals in Washington State must be compelled to do abortions. The hospitals sued had no doctors willing to do abortions so were already referring women to Planned Parenthood. But that wasn’t good enough for the ACLU and this pro-abortion judge. The ruling states hospitals must hire doctors who’re willing to be abortionists. As society is becoming more pro-life, it’s harder to find medical professionals who’ll kill babies, so now the so-called “pro-choice” side is using force.
