It seems to be that if you let your pro-life agenda interfere with your ability to dispense medicine, what's to stop other prejudices from interfering with one's work?

I'm not going to give that herpes medicine to that woman, because she's a sinner and she must be sleeping around (never mind she may have caught it while her husband cheated and then sleot with her after contracting it).

I'm not going to give those fertility treatment drugs to that couple, because God obviously doesn't want them to have children.

Etc. etc. ad nauseum. Besides which, not all women take birth control simply as a means of contraception, but for other conditions as well: it helps with the symptoms of endometriosis, it eases menstral pain and regulates one's cycle, it helps clear acne.

I don't understand why these people, who know nothing of the patients condition or why she takes a particular birth control pill. Even if it's the morning after pill...what if the poor woman was raped or it's a child who is a victim of incest? Do they deserve to go through the hell of not only being violated, but having to bear the child of that violation? Are you going to force them to produce documentation that they were raped?

These people need to come back to Earth. Their views are impractical and have no place in the medical field. The medical field is one that requires compassion and a willingness to help the patient for the sake of patient's own welfare, and not to give some preachy religious prig a soapbox to dispense their dogma.
