Don't Tell Me What To Do WIth My Own Body

Rush was talking about the EMERGENCY Contraceptive pill that Catholic Churches don't want to be forced to have to hand out to RAPE VICTIMS.
Remember, now, this is seven years ago. December 9th, 2005. Sitting down, Snerdley?

"In a shocking turn-around, Massachusetts’s Governor Mitt Romney announced yesterday," which would have been December 8th, 2005, "that Roman Catholic and other private hospitals in the state will be forced to offer emergency contraception to sexual assault victims under new state legislation, regardless of the hospitals’ moral position on the issue. The Republican governor had earlier defended the right of hospitals to avoid dispensing the 'morning-after pill' on the grounds of moral dissent. The Boston Globe reported that Romney’s flip on the issue came after his legal counsel, Mark D. Nielsen, concluded Wednesday," again, we're talking 2005 here, "that the new law supersedes a preexisting statute related to the abortifacient pill." The morning-after pill.

Who gives a damn about the hospital's position on the issue? What about the woman's position. A woman has been raped and has to deal with the trauma of that, then she has to deal with the trauma of hoping she doesn't get pregnant thanks to her rapist, when a "morning after pill" would solve that problem?

Anyone who would make a raped woman carry the child of her rapist for 9 months is sick.

Obviously, the solution is, if you've been raped, don't go to a Roman Catholic hospital for help, but still...

It's Islam's moral grounds that if a woman is raped by a man, she has to marry him or go to jail. We look on that as barbaric, don't we, but that's their religion.

Well, forcing a woman to have a baby even though the only reason why she's pregnant is because she was raped, when she could stop that pregnancy within 1 day - before the baby is nothing more than a simple egg - that is repugnant.
