First: Do No Harm. Second: Do No Pussy Stuff. | Full Frontal with Samantha Bee | TBS

Catholic Hospitals want you to leave a little room in your womb for Jesus. Watch Full Frontal with Samantha Bee all new Mondays at 10:30/ 9:30c on TBS!

Bee highlights the way Catholic hospitals don’t give proper care to their pregnant patients who are having medical problems. Additionally, it can be hard to avoid or even recognize a hospital that is following Catholic codes. You may not have a choice when stuck in a bad situation.

The Catholic ethics guide doesn’t even allow for the removal of an ectopic (non-viable) pregnancy. 

“There are some situations where the mother may in fact die, along with her child.” -Father John Ehrich, medical ethics director, Diocese of Phoenix.

“The fact that they can’t receive… sterilizations at a Catholic healthcare facility is not a form of suffering… we’re protecting them from evil things that can happen to them.” - unnamed priest

Bee: “A miscarriage is already the worst day in a woman’s life. And in a Catholic hospital, it could also be her last.”

The Religious Right | Full Frontal with Samantha Bee | TBS

The untold story of how Christian conservatives went from politically inactive to never shutting the hell up. #NotAllChristians Watch Full Frontal with Saman...

History on the rise of the religious right. In the 1950’s and 60’s, evangelicals weren’t interested in politics. Then in the 70’s, several leaders decided Christians were an untapped voting force. Their first issue: opposition to school desegregation. 

Losing that battle, they switched to abortion. Before 1972, the GOP platform didn’t contain a single reference to God or to religious issues. Then these two groups joined.

Part II: The Religious Right and Abortion

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPsderlzd6c

Excellent history of how the religious right chose abortion as their #1 issue, several years after Roe v. Wade (1973). Protestants, at the time, weren’t interested in the abortion issue and considered it a private matter. 

This led to “pro-life” terrorism against abortion clinics:

So this is the historical foundation of why many conservatives think abortion should be their #1 issue.
