Rape Victim Denied Morning-After Pill
Rape victim denied morning-after pill
A Good Samaritan Hospital emergency room doctor refused to give a rape victim a morning-after pill because he said it was against his Mennonite religion.
Really? Funny. The Hippocratic Oath does NOT give a doctor the right to force his belief system on to someone who is need of help. The woman had been traumatized enough and to be forced to go to another city just to get the drug so she wouldn’t have the additonal worry about pregnancy is not right.
Of course the oh so enlightened ones in Congress wish to do anything to further their aims of outlawing abortion from preventing a woman from easily obtaining a legal prescription drug (Plan B) to making it difficult for a minor to have an abortion.
Then of course they cut out funding for services that could help those women, like insurance coverage, food stamps, even subsidized day-care and job training.
If they were so concerned about children, how about this?
Help women raise better families-Healthcare, job training so they can work at something other than low paying jobs, a living wage so they can support their families, subsidized day-care that is trustworthy so they can work without worrying about their children.
