[link] birth control

[wispfox]

I feel like I've seen this on LJ already, but I can't remember where. So...

growing numbers of doctors and pharmacists across the US are refusing to prescribe or dispense birth control pills

Having intensely strong reminders of "The Handmaiden's Tale", here...

I think the comment about this virtually being unheard of 10 years ago is complete BS. As long as there have been catholic doctors there have people who have said this. It's possible the number is on the rise, but I'd like to see a good study to believe it. There are definatley doctors who feel that way, and definatley doctors who feel otherwise. I see no changing trend in my line of work, though I work in a suburban area, it's possilbe places down south have a bigger changing of attitude.

Noted. I don't have enough interaction with such things to know, although certainly I'd imagine that (as you said) Catholic doctors would refuse to prescribe it.
