From Wisconsin Watch:
Although the majority of people surveyed by the community group had positive views of St. Joseph, some residents told Keeler they were worried and hesitant to send their pregnant loved ones to the hospital. 
Keeler says while the ACLU works to safeguard religious liberty, it also has sued when patients were denied care based on religious restrictions. 
“We take the position that it (religious liberty) can’t be used to harm other people,” she says. 
Reproductive rights advocates say the restrictions impose religious doctrine on patients and violate medical standards of care in ways that disproportionately affect communities like Sherman Park.
