The hospital is not being hypocritical, rather its defence is pointing out that, given the law says an unborn child is not a person, it cannot issue a judgement on grounds that it is a person.

The law has to apply its principles consistently.

Its a typical "rag on the Catholics" media story - presenting an exceptionally twisted take on events, for people to affirm their existing prejudices.

Yet, the catholic church has the strict position that a fetus is a person.
It also rejects the laws which state that a fetus doesnt have the right to personhood.

Therefor they are hypocritical when arguing in a court that a fetus is not a person, since they contradict their own legal position which they have previously expressed.
