I have refused to prescribe the "morning after pill", even in cases of rape. It is my fundamental belief that abortion is murder, and that the morning after pill is a form of abortion.

Get ready to get flamed. There are several on this Forum that believe "If its legal, it must be "moral"; if its "moral," and you refuse to do it, you deserve to be fired, with no conscience clause to protect your God-given right not to be forced to participate in the destruction of innocent human life.

Presumably, his employer has no problem with his decision not to prescribe the morning-after pill.

There should be no "conscience clause" preventing employers from firing employees who refuse to do their jobs, however. Nobody is forced to perform abortions or prescribe contraception.

Actually, I don't have a problem with the ma pill for rape victims but I also don't have a problem with this physician refusing to, though I would hope he would hand the chart off to someone else.

I just don't want the government involved. They shouldn't require him to prescribe, nor outlaw the prescription.
