...those three visits medically justified? The first visit certainly is, since it's vital to ensure that a woman is within the 49-day limit and is not suffering from a tubal pregnancy--things that can be determined with the help of ultrasound. And a final visit to the doctor is needed for a second ultrasound to determine if the abortion is complete or if a surgical procedure is needed after all. New studies indicate, however, that there is no need to take the second drug at the doctor's office. As long as a woman has access to medical...
...well aware that parents are part of the kiddie TV audience whether they like it or not, PBS has created a welcome thing in the age of Teletubbies and Barney--a fun educational show for kids with enough sops for adults to avoid inspiring a wave of vasectomies and tubal ligations...
While Catholic-sponsored health-care facilities are bound by the church's teachings prohibiting, among other things, contraception and tubal ligations, it is imperative that these teachings be balanced with the medical needs of the community. Other health systems have found creative solutions to accommodate both women's health needs and the church's position--through an independent provider or separate funding source.

That is a dramatic change from last year, when more than 400 tubal ligations were performed at South Valley Hospital. In fact, nearly a fifth of all deliveries were immediately followed by the operation, which takes 15 min. and can often piggyback on the same epidural painkiller used during labor. So what changed? Well, South Valley became St. Louise Regional Health Center, and the hospital's new owner...
...gatekeepers, are facing a new level of interference from religious gatekeepers," says Lois Uttley, director of MergerWatch, an organization that campaigns against mergers between Catholic and non-Catholic hospitals. Campos intends to tear down that gate. She doesn't want to have her baby at St. Louise and her tubal ligation at another hospital two months later. "I'm going to put up a fight," she says firmly. "I have the right to make a choice." Perhaps St. Louise should consider what wise men inevitably learn: it doesn't pay to argue with a pregnant woman...
