If people want to go to hospitals whose care reflects their religious beliefs, then they should be able to do so. Doctors and hospitals are susceptible to lawsuits for inadequate care just as are nonsecular hospitals. Why do we think it's appropriate to restrict patient access because we may disagree with their standard of care?
it does not work that way Maggie
In order to perform any procedure, the hospital must first get consent from the patient. A patient can always refuse to consent to a procedure that conflicts with their religious beliefs. IOW, they can get care that reflects their religious beliefs at any hospital.
