Aoki Seminar Series - Professor Lisa Ikemoto Doctrine at the Gate: Religion, Race & Gender in Catholic Hospitals Catholic hospitals and former Catholic hospitals abide by religious directives that prohibit basic reproductive health care services. The religious restrictions primarily impact women and disproportionately impact women of color. Professor Ikemoto will discuss possible legal interventions, as well as potential effects of recently promulgated rules that expand religion-based refusals to treat patients.
