WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh May 28, 2021

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Rebecca Chamorrow, thirty three, and her husband are expecting their

0:00:03.160 --> 0:00:06.640
<v Speaker 1>third crumb cruncher. They decided that three were enough, so

0:00:06.720 --> 0:00:10.360
<v Speaker 1>she asked their obstetrician to perform a tubal ligation after

0:00:10.400 --> 0:00:13.360
<v Speaker 1>she delivers the child. But the hospital where she planned

0:00:13.360 --> 0:00:15.720
<v Speaker 1>to deliver the baby, as a Kapa hospital, a Mercy

0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Medical Center in Reading, California. The hospital's religious principles do

0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:23.440
<v Speaker 1>not permit tubals, so the request was turned down. There

0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:27.120
<v Speaker 1>are other hospitals that do the procedure, albeit some distance away,

0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:30.040
<v Speaker 1>so it shouldn't have become a major issue, but it has.

0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:33.559
<v Speaker 1>The A. C. L U and Rebecca Shamarro sued the

0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:38.199
<v Speaker 1>medical center and the healthcare provider Dignity Health, which operates

0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:42.200
<v Speaker 1>thirty facilities in California, for sexual discrimination. Now the case

0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:45.160
<v Speaker 1>hasn't gained much nationwide attention, but it was a big

0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:49.440
<v Speaker 1>deal locally. Los Angeles Times recently published a scathing column

0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:53.040
<v Speaker 1>backing the lawsuit, demanding the religious values of the healthcare

0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:56.840
<v Speaker 1>provider be brushed aside. This week, San Francisco judge Ernest

0:00:56.880 --> 0:01:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Goldsmith upheld the previous ruling that Mercy Medical Center was

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:04.920
<v Speaker 1>not engaging in discrimination by denying Miss shamorrow the procedure.

0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:09.160
<v Speaker 1>He noted the hospital's policy of not offering sterilizations also

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:12.160
<v Speaker 1>applies to men, and pointed out the couple could get

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:15.479
<v Speaker 1>the procedure done somewhere else. Now, don't think for one

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:17.679
<v Speaker 1>minute that this ruling is the end of the story.

0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:21.880
<v Speaker 1>The left will not rest. Liberals will exhaust every avenue

0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:25.560
<v Speaker 1>of wage war on those who dare to exercise their

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:28.760
<v Speaker 1>religious values, particularly when it comes to the birth of

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:34.160
<v Speaker 1>a child. M
