Police are still looking for suspects in the series of attacks on womens’ health clinics across Florida last week. Today on Democracy Now we’ll continue our look at other threats to womens’ choice. Yesterday, we looked at one case in New Hampshire where a obstetrician/gynecologist was no longer allowed to perform abortions where he worked after it merged with a nearby Catholic hospital.
Today, we’ll take a look at Catholic H.M.O.’s and the womens health services they do and do not provide.
