Default Cathloic Hospital takes position that a fetus is not a person

When it comes down to it, evidently the question of when a person come into existence may be based on money.

When it is an advantage to the Catholic Church, life begins at conception.

But when it is a financial disadvantage to the Catholic Church, a fetus is not a person until it is born.

Quote:
A Colorado man whose wife and unborn twins died while in the care of a local Catholic hospital is continuing his fight in the courts after the facility claimed in legal documents that it cannot be responsible for the deaths of his sons because a fetus is not a person.

...

Stodghill was shocked when attorneys for the healthcare group and the hospital argued that they should not be held liable for the deaths of the couple’s children because a fetus is not a person until it is born. It pointed to the Colorado Wrongful Death Act, which states that deaths involving unborn babies do not qualify under the statute. [The Handbook of Colorado Wrongful Death Law does not support this assertion]
So even if the courts rule that the Catholic Hospital is not liable, wouldn't the Church make their decision of liability based on their own morality?

Not when it interferes with the profit, evidently.

Lemme see if I can understand this:

So life begins at conception when it comes to choices of women, but life does not begin until birth when the Church's money is at stake.
