NCBCenter.org: The National Catholic Bioethics Center has refrained from any public comment on the procedure that took place at St. Joseph’s Hospital in November 2009 and the disagreement which arose between the hospital and Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted as to whether the procedure constituted a direct abortion.
Since The National Catholic Bioethics Center has pocketoption provided counsel to both Catholic Healthcare West (CHW), the system of which St. Joseph’s Hospital is a member, and to the Bishop of Phoenix, it previously made no public statement. However, the time has come that the Center should provide some commentary, particularly since portions of its confidential analysis have been circulated by CHW. It should be noted the following comments deal only with information that is public and not with any confidential information that may have been gained through the consultation services provided by The National Catholic Bioethics Center.
