Catholics all about raping children but won't prescribe a death with dignity?

New Mexico is the political inverse of my home state of South Dakota. It's where if the packed Supreme Court of the United States overturns Roe v. Wade women will still be free to exercise their reproductive rights because Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham signed the Respect New Mexico Women and Families Act that repealed the 1969 state statute banning abortion. 

New Mexico's Democratic governor and unpaid legislators not only legalized cannabis for all adults they passed legislation making a death with dignity legal for people with terminal illnesses.
Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center, part of the Christus Health network of Catholic hospitals, will not prescribe the lethal medications to terminally ill patients, spokesman Arturo Delgado said. “Healthcare in the Catholic tradition recognizes the rights of patients to treatment, care and services within our capability and mission,” Delgado wrote in an email.

New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas has been investigating predator priests and the Archdiocese of Santa Fe was forced to file for bankruptcy because of the high number of lawsuits.
