Being "pro equal treatment" does not mean you are pro abortion. Can you link to your posts prior to this ruling by the SCOTUS which will confirm your statement that you are pro choice when it concerns abortion?
Look further into why. Legally, they can't do that based on only what you assert.
Legally hospitals can determine who they allow admitting privileges to. They can set the minimum number of patients admitted by a doctor, they can decide where they will take doctors from, they can decide what services they will allow admitting privileges for.
If an abortion provider only admits 1 patient every 10 years and the hospital requires a minimum of 20 patients per doctor a year, the abortion provider will not qualify.
Actually, it does. One is coded as a diagnostic test. The other as surgical.
nah, that won't work, your point was not how they are coded it's clear that you were trying to say that they differ because only one of them (abortion) involves the 'forcible removal of tissue' when in fact they both do.
Quite clearly, it is about qualifications, or the affected doctors could have sued on the grounds of discrimination.
Don't try to pass your BS off on people. You may think everyone is stupid, but they're not.
It is not BS in any way, shape, or form, but what you're tossing out to counter my argument absolutely is.

If you were truly pro-choice, what is happening in my hometown should make you absolutely incensed. Please drop the masquerade. You are a pro-life shill pretending to be pro-choice and nothing else.
not in a a catholic hospital. abortion providers are denied admitting privileges strictly on religious reasoning, not because the doctors are unqualified to treat.
It's not a Catholic hospital. It's a public hospital, and IC is right that they can sue. They have, and it's been hung up in the courts for over a year.
Dear one, did you forget what you said? It was not simply that a colonoscopy is a 'diagnostic procedure' but that they differ from abortions because an abortion involves the forcible removal of tissue - clearly inferring that a colonoscopy does not

Bingo. Patently obvious. Anyone interested in an honest and real discussion on this topic should just avoid that poster's posts entirely.
