Catholic hospital chain claims a fetus is not a person Empty Catholic hospital chain claims a fetus is not a person

... in order to win a lawsuit:

A Catholic health provider has abandoned its beliefs by arguing that a dead fetus and a dead person are not the same thing in order to win a malpractice lawsuit.

The case stems from the death of 31-year-old Lori Stodghill, who was pregnant with twins when she died of a heart attack in 2006. The woman’s husband, Jeremy, filed a wrongful death suit against the faith-based, nonprofit hospital chain Catholic Health Initiatives, alleging its decision not to perform a perimortem cesarean section led to the deaths of the twins.

On a totally unrelated note, does anyone think we need a "Hypocrisy" category?
