Oklahoma Rape Victim Denied Emergency Contraceptives. Doctor Cites Religious Objection As Reason (healthcare, school)

[Frozenyo]

"The young woman asked the doctor whether or not emergency contraceptives were available and whether the doctor was simply refusing to provide them. The nurse told her “I will not give you emergency contraceptives because it goes against my belief.” The doctor refused to help her, even though she had just been raped, and refused to find another doctor to help her."

...and people wonder why I have such a disdain for religion. It gives cover for vile acts such as this.

And voila... the slippery slope is open for business.

Next, a company will deny homosexuals access to their healthcare citing religious reasons.

Then a landlord will break a lease and kick out a tenant in the middle of the night citing religious reasons.

Then a teacher at a public school will refuse to teach any gay students, citing religious reasons.

Life under Republicans. They seem content to be told how to live by self-righteous hypocrites. Thankfully, most of us are smarter than that.

Next up, Jehovah's Witness ER doctor refuses to do blood transfusion.

Maybe someone else can be a muslim working at a pulled pork BBQ joint so he or she can just stand around all day.

how absolutely dreadful.

Just shut up already. Not everyone who is religious shoves it down people's throats.

By the way, pretty disgusting how you don't give a crap about the victim, you just want to use her situation to further some political s***.

I wish people would realize that checking their religion at the door is the only way to function. If it that darn important then pick a line of work that follows your beliefs and leave the other jobs to those who can do them without hesitation.

It's pretty disgusting how you reply to people by telling them to shut up. In case you have been living under a rock (or in Oklahoma) for the last year, access to contraception has become a political issue.
