Just another example of the hypocrisy of the Catholic Church, but a pretty bad one.
According to The Colorado Independent, Lori Stodghill, a 31-year-old woman, pregnant for 7 months with twins, went to St. Thomas More Hospital in Cañon City, Colorado, feeling ill. She promptly had a massive heart attack induced by a blood clot. The obstetrician was paged, but didn’t answer. Stodghill died and so did her twins.
Stodghill’s husband sued the hospital on the grounds of wrongful death, arguing that a Caesarian section could have saved the twins even if the mother died.
Now comes the hypocrisy, for the hospital is supposed to abide by Catholic directives:
