Can Catholic hospitals be forced to offer assisted suicide / aid in dying?

Keep an eye on Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm v. James (federal court).

NY state passed a law this year that requires counseling for the terminally ill that includes the option for assisted suicide aka "medical aid in dying." Of course that is incompatible with Catholic teaching.

A temporary restraining order is in effect. I read about this because the Archbishop of NY joined the suit.
