What is the problem?

The University of California is planning a significant collaboration with Dignity Health, now merged with Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI). Dignity/CHI Catholic hospitals PROHIBIT use of contraception, in vitro fertilization, sperm/egg donors, pregnancy surrogates, and abortion—as well as gender affirming services (such as hormone treatment, hysterectomy, and mastectomy) for transgender people.
