Complicated topic.
It’s all the fault of those wicked Catholic hospitals and doctors who don’t believe in killing babies.
Typical MSNBC perspective.
This is a Catholic/Christian bash job by Planned Parenthood... and it makes me very skeptical of its authenticity. Most Dr.’s ...especially in the ER would refer her to someone else if he didn’t feel comfortable writing a script. She could have also asked a nurse’s assistance if she felt he was being abusive.
all she needed to do is take 4 birth control pills wait about 12 hours and take 4 more (depends on the pills)
I call Bullsh#t on the whole article. First of all a nurse especially trained for rape exams usually would do most of the exam now and the rape kit filled out.
there are resources out the a$$ to get post rape contraception.
This is a typical Christian bash... these libs would freak if they knew what the Muzzies have in store for women that get raped....since they are so much more in touch than bad old Christians.
The only thing this article failed to do was to state "Then the doctor prayed over my body, with laying on of the hands. He spoke in tongues and offered to meet me at a Christian singles group the next day."
These guys are so full of cr#p that you'd think that the editor would want proof of the authenticity of the so called story.
The NEJM started to fall apart about 20 years ago and can be relied on to "scientifically" back up liberal causes.... environmental cr#p, circumcision cr@p, socialized medical care cr@p, unionizing doctors cr#p, etc, etc....just like the AMA.

What’s very peculiar is the author’s attitude that a doctor having a moral or ethical standard he holds himself to, is a “judgment” or “condemnation” of the patient. Liberals are incapable of separating fact from (their) emotions.
Their other misconception is that the doctor is there to do whatever you want/tell him to do.
So, she is forced to do something against her moral code which entitles her to force the next man - a doctor who is trying to help her - to force him to do something against his moral code.
The only innocent here is the doctor.
As in should they be able to refuse to fibrillate someone, or perform an appendectomy?
MSNBC: They are all baddy, baddy Christians.
We are in for it, folks.
This smells like propaganda.
I don’t know. I call bs on this article. She names names but the pieces don’t fit. ER docs don’t have offices you can call. Good Sam? Is that a Catholic hospital? Catholic hospitals I know of don’t stock contraceptives or abortion pills. If the hospital policy allows it, a physician who has no moral objections could be asked to write the script. Medical professionals are allowed to refuse to perform treatments contrary to their moral code.
This story sounds distorted.
