Catholic Hospital Sides Against Religion


Seven years ago, 28-week-pregnant Lori Stodghill was at the St. Thomas More Hospital in Canon City, Colorado after going into cardiac arrest in the lobby of the hospital. She and her unborn twin boys both died. Jeremy Stodghill, Lori’s husband, sued the hospital for the deaths of his sons and wife but they took the defense that an embryo is not a person until it is born. The hospital won the case and sued Stodghill for $118,000. However, they offered to drop the charges if he would drop his appeal of the case. Now Stodghill has petitioned the Colorado Supreme Court to rule on the case. He is also hoping that the Catholic Church will speak out.
