The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, saying its guidelines for Catholic hospitals — including a ban on abortions — lead to negligent care. The lawsuit centers on Tamesha Means, a Michigan woman who endured a risky miscarriage after a Catholic hospital failed to inform her that ending her pregnancy was an option. The hospital reportedly sent Means home twice even though she was in excruciating pain and there was virtually no chance her pregnancy would survive. Kary Moss, head of the Michigan ACLU, told the Associated Press, “It’s not just about one woman. It’s about a nationwide policy created by non-medical professionals putting patients in harm’s way.”
