De facto approval of abortion by Catholic hospitals and parishes?

Plan B: Current Controversies is a very short video (i.e., about 20 minutes) from  Pa's own Dr Chris Kahlenborn, which masterfully explains the dangers of Plan B, while referring people to www.polycarp.org for additional information.

The Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services, 6th ed (USCCB, June 2018) remind us of the bishop's role in safeguarding authentic Catholic practice.  Yet, bishops have been allowing hospitals to use "Plan B" in certain circumstances.  Dr Kahlenborn says that our "bishops basically take their cues from a group called the National Catholic Bioethics Center" (NCBC) - which has no physicians on its staff - leaving them misled on the abortifacient potential of Plan B.  

Please contract Archbishop Chaput, NCBC president John Haas, PhD, our Archdiocesan Office for Life and Family, and the Pa Catholic Conference, urging them to listen to the prophetic voices of Dr. Kahlenborn and others  (cf.,

And as it has long been known that other hormonal "contraceptives" can also cause early abortions and are deadly dangerous (e.g., 1, 2) and just about every pharmacy (including those in supermarkets and department stores) provide such, no parish should be allowing advertisements from providers of hormonal "contraceptives"! Please speak with your pastor, to ensure that your parish - be it in a bulletin or a directory - does not have such ads.
