If we already didn't know it, women don't count. Marley http://www.prevention.com/cda/feature2002/0,2479,s1-7342-P,00.html) Access Denied Find out why growing numbers of doctors and pharmacists  across the US are refusing to prescribe or dispense birth control pills by Caroline Bollinger Access Denied In April, Julee Lacey, 33, a Fort Worth, TX, mother of two, went  to her local CVS drugstore for a last-minute Pill refill. She had been getting  her pre_script_ion filled there for a year, so she was astonished when the pharmacist told her, I personally don't believe in birth control and therefore  I'm not going to fill your pre_script_ion. Lacey, an elementary school teacher,  was shocked. The pharmacist had no idea why I was even taking the Pill. I might have needed it for a medical condition. Melissa Kelley, 35, was just as  stunned when her gynecologist told her she would not renew her pre_script_ion for  birth control pills last fall. She told me she couldn't in good faith  prescribe the Pill anymore, says Kelley, who lives with her husband and son in  Allentown, PA. Then the gynecologist told Kelley she wouldn't be able to get a  new pre_script_ion from her family doctor, either. She said my primary care  physician was the one who helped her make the decision. Lacey's  pharmacist and Kelley's doctors are among hundreds, perhaps thousands, of  physicians and pharmacists who now adhere to a controversial belief that birth  control pills and other forms of hormonal contraception

prescribed contraceptives since 1989, says he feels the same way: I  function better and I sleep better at night knowing I'm not giving the Pill. Hope you're comfy with all those desperate women who are trying to scrape together the money for an abortion, or the babies found in dumpsters, or unwanted children abused by their parents, or poverty-stricken children going hungry at night, asshole. Gawd forbid we should give out birth control pills and prevent all those wonderful scenarios from happening. Rabbit

Hope you're comfy with all those desperate women who are trying to scrape together the money for an abortion, or the babies found in dumpsters, or unwanted children abused by their parents, or poverty-stricken children going hungry at night, asshole. Gawd forbid we should give out birth control pills and prevent all those wonderful scenarios from happening. I think we need a web site that lists doctors and pharmacies that will prescibe and sell birth control (and peform various procedures to prevent pregnancy, as well). If someone out there can do the scipting for a decent search engine, I can and will provide space on my web server, and pay for the domain name.

Seriously.  I'm so glad he's proud of himself for preventing possible chemical abortions, even if, by withholding BC pills, he creates *actual* abortions of full-fledged, implanted pregnancies.  Idiot. I hope the opponents of politicians that support this idiocy (Santorum et al) run ads that say <idiot doesn't support access to birth control pills for women. -Kristy

Any doctor or pharmacist found to be pulling these shenanigans should have their license revoked.  The Pill is used for many things relevant to a woman's health.  Failing to prescribe it because Jay-sus sed so violates first do no harm. So far as I'm concerned, a willingness to allow religious belief to *in* *any* *way* interact with a medical decision is conclusive proof of medical incompetence. Their licenses certainly should be revoked, in as pubicly humiliating a fashion as possible.

How many women know that if they become pregnant after  breakthrough ovulation, these 'contraceptives' will almost always kill any son  or daughter they've conceived? asks the anti-Pill organization Pro-Life America... Completely missing the point that women on the pill don't WANT a son or daughter to begin with! It never occurs to these idiots that this effect may be the very thing these women want to happen if a pregnancy occurs. CB
