Advocate Health Policy Cuts Abortions at Christ and Nearby Hospitals
Advocate Health Care Network announces a new pregnancy termination policy limiting abortions to rape or incest cases or when the mother's life or health is at serious risk or when lethal fetal anomalies are present. Abortion services will be halted at South Suburban in Hazel Crest and Trinity, with two remaining hospitals performing these procedures. The policy aims to limit therapeutic abortions across the eight-hospital system and requires ethics approval for each case. Diverse reactions follow from church leaders, abortion opponents, and Planned Parenthood, with vigils continuing and debates over definitions of life and health.
