One out of every six patients in the United States is treated in a
Catholic hospital that follows the policies of the U.S. Conference
of Catholic Bishops. These policies prohibit abortion,
sterilization, contraception, some treatments for miscarriage and
gender confirmation, and other reproductive care, undermining
hard-won patients’ rights to bodily autonomy and informed
decision-making. Drawing on rich interviews with patients and
providers, this book reveals both how the bishops’ directives
operate and how people inside Catholic hospitals navigate the
resulting restrictions on medical practice. In doing so, Bishops
and Bodies fleshes out a vivid picture of how The Church’s stance
on sex, reproduction, and “life” itself manifests in
institutions that affect us all.
