OT Birth Control

[crazycanuck]

I know i'm an outsider in all this but would like to state how it looks from outside the USA. I keep reading about items such as this and wonder how can people actually accept it? What's happening in the USA guys??? Is it the ' Big Kahuna's believers" making waves?

Reading your posts gives me some relief as i was under the impression most americans agree with the changes. I wasnt' sure if anyone was actually standing up & saying " oi what the(((( do you think you're doing" !

As kitsune said, sign the petition if you can.

Australia & NZ have encountered similar problems-The Australian Federal health Minister tried to ban RU486 but that didn't work...

I read a horrifying article in a magazine that one woman was refused the morning after pill at a hospital after being raped. She stated refusing the pill was refusing a victim of rape the right to heal. I believe she said she was anti-abortion but would never consider carrying a rapist's baby.

This whole debate completely freaks me out and angers me. As many have said, a lot of people take birth control for things other than birth control. And what drug is next? Would we get someone on a Tom Cruise-like crusade against anti-depressants refusing those? Would someone refuse my anti-convulsants because I could learn to manage my movement disorder naturally? I had one kooky neurologist tell me I was experiencing a lot of side effects from one medicine and would benefit from the power and strength of prayer. And once I found those I would find the drugs unnecessary. I do pray and believe, yet I was still shaking and depressed to boot!
