The ACLU v. Catholic hospitals?

Michael Sean Winters, at NCR, passes on a story that "[t]he ACLU is mounting an effort to force Catholic hospitals to perform abortions in certain cases and provide other forms of care that violate the Church’s ethical norms."  More here. 

Jody Bottum argued, in the April issue of First Things, that we "need Catholic hospitals", that they and other "limicole" institutions are important "not for Catholicism, which will survive without them, but for America and its strange experiment in ordered liberty."

I have to admit, while I am passionately (obsessively?) committed to there being a future for (authentic) Catholic schools and universities, I would like to believe that Catholic hospitals have such a future, too . . . but I'm not sure.
