Shocking
That's disgraceful. I'm truly shocked to read of such casual disregard for medical ethics. Then again, perhaps I shouldn't be surprised. This sort of behaviour is typical of the kind of fundamentalist who isn't satisfied with merely following their own faith, but wants everybody else to follow it as well, whether they like it or not.
Also, I can't help but wonder if this is constitutional. If public funding were involved in funding the doctor, or the med's or most especially the pharmacist, wouldn't that breach the woman's First Amendment rights?
