More shit to piss me off.

"In the hospital and estimated 25,000 women become pregnant each year after a rape. Yet only about half of women at risk were given emergency contraception in the ER, according to a 2002 study in the Annals of Emergency Medicine. Laws in California, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, South Carolina and Washington require hospitals to offer EC in the ER, but do they? A report by the New York city council found nearly one in four public clinics were ignoring a similar rule. Worse, when U.S. Department of Justice officials issued guidelines for threatment of women who have been raped, they omitted any mention if emergency contraception."

There are 1,500 members in the Pharmacists for Life International organization. Meaning these people will not, based on their beliefs fill any type of prescription to prevent pregnancy. Personally I think these people are fucking idiots, but everyone is entitled to their own moral beliefs. (We don't want to go fucking with nature now by ensuring a woman can't get pregnant.) I want to know why are they pharmacists then? Are there other prescriptions these people won't fill based on personally beliefs? Go find a new job assholes.
