"What if the baby I prevented would have grown up to cure AIDS?" See, I can play pull-it-out-of-my-*ss too! Apparently freedom of conscience only applies to those who agree with Dr Gunter.

In a few years I will finish pharmacy school and have the honor of explaining to these people why giving Vicodin prescriptions to alcoholics is a bad idea.

If a doctor can refuse to discuss contraception, essentially proselytizing to patient . . .

Refusal to discuss contraception is so far from proselytizing that I question the sincerity of the entire article. This girl strikes me as a petty tyrant who loves the power that her MD gives her over those she sees as lesser people. I would not want physicians or anyone else in my life who had so little regard for their own personal values that they would act in violation of their religious beliefs simply because they were told to - none of the historical precedents in which people checked their values at the office door and blindly followed orders turned out well. I have no moral objection to contraception, but I would far rather have the "medical student was refusing to have anything to do with contraception as it was against her religion" as my (or my daughter's) physician than the self-righteous petty tyrant who thinks her opinions should override the moral beliefs of others.

It’s one thing to point to and discuss their medical and lawful options with patients, but another thing completely to practice abortion as delayed contraception — particularly at or immediately after normal delivery. To whom then is one a moral humanist?
