Does Queens need more abortions?

Dawn Eden passes on a story about the proposed sale of two Catholic hospitals in Queens and about how a "provision in the deal requiring Catholic medical restrictions to remain in place at both facilities is causing consternation among reproductive health advocates."  Here is an excerpt:

[R]eproductive health advocates are lobbying the Department of Health to nix a part of the deal that would require Wyckoff to operate both facilities under Catholic medical restrictions currently prohibiting contraceptive counseling, abortions, sterilizations and other reproductive services.

"It's very clear to me that there is an unmet need for these reproductive services," said Lois Uttley, the director of The Merger Watch Project, a group supported by Planned Parenthood and The New York Civil Liberties Union, which monitors health care mergers involving Catholic hospitals.

Uttley acknowledged that is important for both hospitals to stay open, but said she would like to see "more services."

Uttley recently told the State Hospital Review and Planning Commission's Project Review Committee that the two Queens hospitals should relinquish their Catholic identity when and if they are taken over by Wyckoff, which is a public hospital.

"The two hospitals in question will no longer be Catholic hospitals," she said, adding that if the current plan is approved, it will represent "a most unfortunate missed opportunity to improve the health care of thousands of women and families who rely on these two hospitals for their health care needs."

Alice Berger, the vice president of Health Care Planning at Planned Parenthood, cited the diversity of Queens in reiterating Uttley's argument.

"The ethnic and racial diversity of these Queens neighborhoods, coupled with the need for comprehensive reproductive health services, indicates that these community hospitals should be made to broaden rather than restrict vital preventive services," Berger said.

What, exactly, is Ms. Berger saying?  "The ethnic and racial diversity" of Queens indicates a need for more abortion providers?
