suckmyarsee I live in Michigan. I'm a 26 yo. I had bilateral salpingectomy scheduled for the 24th. I had this scheduled since before January. I had my pre op appointment last week. I just got a call from my doctors office saying they no longer will be doing the procedure. At all. This was under trinity health, a catholic organization. But my doctor was wonderful and had no issues agreeing to do the surgery.

Yes this was a catholic organization. But I fear this is only the beginning. I have an appointment under a different organization tomorrow to discuss options.

Edit: WOW this blew up. I just want to add. Everyone is focusing on the fact this is a catholic institution. Trinity health is HUGE in Michigan. My primary care provider is through Trinity and she is the FIRST doctor to ever take me seriously. She was a last resort after a lifetime of medical gaslighting. When I saw the obgyn she was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, compassionate and professional. There was NEVER EVER any hint that they would cancel. Never a peep. At the pre op appointment last week Everything was business as usual. Should I have gone to a catholic organization to get this procedure done? In hindsight I guess not. That being said, this illuminates a bigger issue. Since our Healthcare is privatized they have the option to claim religious reasons to cancel these procedures. It is wrong, terrifying and like I said, I fear this is only the beginning.

SkullsnBones93 What was their reasoning for cancelling?
This makes me so nervous. I’m also in MI and have mine scheduled March 20th. Not thru a catholic org thou.

suckmyarsee The lady that called me from the office was literally in tears. Didn't really give me a reason just said I was the 7th woman she called and wasn't going to be the last.

LostAgain_000 I’m so sorry.

[In 2016 The ACLU reported -1 in 6 U.S. Hospital Beds Are in Catholic Facilities That Prohibit Essential Health Care for Women](https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/new-report-reveals-1-6-us-hospital-beds-are-catholic-facilities-prohibit-essential)

Religiously affiliated hospitals are a huge threat to our healthcare & autonomy.
