"Miniscule, tiny, minute proportions. Besides, the hospital can give it to them."
Every single rape victim who seeks medical treatment is offered the morning after pill if they aren't already on the pill, not tiny, miniscule percentages. And, sorry, but all rape victims do not go to the hospital. A significant number of them see personal physicians, usually their ob/gyn. Guess what those private physicians give them? That's right: a prescription, which they need to fill.
It's disgusting that you can be so dismissive of rape victims.
By the time this proverbial rape victim got to see their personal physician or ob/gyn the plan B medication would be too late. See if you can call in this morning and get a same day appointment.
Sounds like bullchit to me, women know they need to go to a hospital for evidense to be collected. A woman raped at 10 oclock at night isn't going to find her PP's office open. So unless she's fortunate enough to be raped during regular business hours she's probably gonna have to visit the hospital. Your making excuses for forcing people to give the means for an abortion against their personal beliefs.
The tiny, miniscule perecentage refers to the number of rape victims seeking the morning-after pill vs the overall number of women who seek it

I'm not dismissive of them. If they do not seek police help after a rape, and instead seek out their doctors, they are reducing the likelihood of getting help from the police.
If you read the article, Target makes a point of saying that the pill would be made available somehow. That is not being dismissive.
1. Saying that a group of people is small is not dismissive, or at the very least is not something that should be described as "disgusting."
2. Pointing out that a group of people is small enough that their travails should not be used as an excuse to violate fundamental human rights is not dismissive, either.
3. If a society is going to decide to restrict a right, they should do so only if the exercise of that right gravely affects a number of citizens in the real world. In regard to that, see my challenge to swmobuffalo in post 103.
So take it to a pharmacy that doesn't mind contributing to the murder of a child. Maybe some of those rape victims aren't really rape victims. As if that has never happened. /sarcasm. By whose orders are pharmacists required to fill prescriptions they believe will kill someone (a baby)?!
Most doctors know which pharmacy will and will not fill the morning after pill. It's the feminists who want what they want and don't care whose rights they trample.
If a rape victim is really a rape victim I would imagine they would go to the emergency room and call the police to report the rape. Unless it's really not a rape at all. Since I would guess that most rapes happen at night and there probably aren't that many physicians who are open. That's what emergency rooms are for.
Is the next step for 'Planned Parenthood' to DEMAND that every doctor perform an abortion because they are 'rape victims' and didn't get their morning after pill in time?
Just because some lunatic feminist decides she needs her morning after pill doesn't mean anyone is obligated to give it to her, rape victim or not. You or anyone else don't have the right to demand anyone change their career to appease lunatic feminists who think no one but them have rights.
