    Or a vasectomy.

    Guessing the husband is a wimp who can't handle some minor pain.

    What religion is that?

    Your guess is irrelevant. The hospital is refusing one form of surgical birth control, so it is hypocritical to suggest another in its place.

    Voodoo?

    My issue here is that they have made the exception in the past. If their religion allowed it then, it should allow it now.

    What if the hospital is forced to allow the procedure? The trouble here is that the folks who think Christianity is under attack will claim that they are being forced to act against their religious beliefs, and they won't be 100 percent wrong.

    What matters? The religion of the people running the hospital or the doctor providing treatment?

    And the Jewish hospital should have to serve pork.

    Apparently, somebody needs to explain the difference between patient care and food service to Mr. Hammond.

    More urologists than hospitals, and a vasectomy can be done in a doctor's office.

    Well, to be fair, some McDonald's bathrooms have served as birthing centers, so the confusion may be understandable.
