Do Christians really contribut to society more than atheists

[Fake Messiah]

Catholic hospitals should be shut down.  They can keep the names if they like; St Fucktard of Bacteria's Hospital for example but doctors should be in charge not some fuckhead wearing a cross.

Indeed. Even the Catholic group that calls themselves Catholics for Choice released a report on how Catholic-owned hospitals jeopardize health care. Here are some tidbits:

Between 2001 and 2016, the number of hospitals affiliated with the Catholic church increased by 22 percent. And how do you feel about your healthcare being guided by the bishops’ interpretation of the Catholic faith, guidelines mandating that health professionals and hospitals follow standards set by popes, bishops and Vatican councils, rather than by medical necessity or your own religious beliefs?

This situation often occurs with the blessing of the government, which often grants expansive refusal rights to Catholic hospitals allowing them to refuse to provide reproductive healthcare services.

Under the Directives, women who are patients at a Catholic hospital have:
• No access to abortion—even in cases of rape or incest (Directive 45)
• No ability to choose modern contraception, including sterilization (Directives 52, 53)
• Restrictions upon treatment for ectopic pregnancy (Directive 48)
• No access to in vitro fertilization (Directives 39, 40, 41); none of the benefits of embryonic stem cell research (Directive 51)
• No deference to their advanced medical directives (Directive 24)
• No access to emergency contraception (EC)

How Catholics actually murdered a woman:

In 2012, Savita Halappanavar was refused an abortion at an Irish hospital prior to an “inevitable spontaneous miscarriage,” despite evidence of a severe infection and her deteriorating condition.
Doctors waited until after the fetal heartbeat had stopped because, according to a medical consultant present, “As long as there is a fetal heartbeat, we can’t do anything.” Or, as a midwife explained, “because Ireland is a Catholic country.” After another 48 hours, Savita had a spontaneous miscarriage, but the delay proved fatal. She died of septic shock and E. coli one week after her admission.
