The Human Cost of "Conscience Clauses"

LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY [info]britzkrieg)

This article in an Indiana publication features interviews with three women victimized by so-called "conscience clauses." They include:

* A woman who became pregnant with her fourth child after being denied coverage for a tubal ligation
* A rape victim denied emergency contraception by fifteen pharmacies
* A virgin college student who can't get her birth control pills locally, even though she needs them to control her horrendous periods

The medical "professionals" involved with these cases should be ashamed of themselves. What they're doing amounts to malpractice -- or at least, it should.
