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.
Rebuffed by the doctor, the woman called her gynecologist, who wrote the prescription. Her local pharmacy told her it was out of the drug and referred her to a sister store in Reading.
The former medical director of the hospital said he sees nothing strange about asking a woman from eastern Lebanon County to drive to Reading for a drug.
"People drive to Reading to buy jeans. Even if that were the case, that you had to drive to Reading to get this [prescription], to me that does not rise to a compulsion that you have to pass laws that [doctors] have to do something," Dr. Joe Kearns said.
I think the neo-cons have just about completed their strategy to revert us back to "the good ol' days," where women were barefoot and pregnant, in the kitchen, not allowed to vote or own any property, etc.
What makes our government any different from the extremists we're fighting in the Middle East? These assholes make passionate speeches about how women are degraded and slaves over there, and how they force their religion on everyone...does it sound familiar? The exact same thing is happening here, only it's OK because it's the Christian religion and not Islam. "My God is cooler than your God" and all that.
All I want to know is how long before we're wearing burkhas, fellas?
