Catholic hospitals are not allowed to intervene when a pregnant women is dying due to complications?  This is nothing more than a euphemism for "Catholic hospitals are not permitted to perform an abortion to save the life of the mother."

They sure are allowed to intervene and do whatever they can to save the life of the women and her child.  They just can't do an abortion to do so.

As for the rest of your post: so what? So a woman has to drive a bit to "access" birth control.  So what?
