The pill is a killer?
Was listening to the news on the way home, stuck in traffic, battling with a car that won't idle, keyed up on Caffeine (someone gave me chocolate and a can of coke this afternoon, WOW) so I was in the mood for a rant and was given perfect fuel.... There are Doctors in America who on their moral grounds won't prescribe the pill as a means of contraception because if it fails to prevent ovulation it can also prevent the egg implanting in the womb - thereby allegedly being a form of Abortion.. So what of all the times the woman's body prevents an egg from implanting? Does that mean that a woman's body is a tool of abortion and therefore should not be allowed? They better start refusing to treat all women as they are potential tools of abortion and are therefore to be rejected on moral grounds.
It's set off the other questions in my head "do these people believe that those eggs that don't implant were lives that the body rejected, they therefore have all gone to hell/whereever they believe unshriven spirits go?"
"Is preventing a baby from forming by any method of contraception tantamount to abortion in their eyes?"
"Is sex fundamentally wrong in their view?"
They should take a leaf out of the Islamic view - sex is a pleasure given by the supreme being. To reject sex is to reject a gift from the supreme being. Sex is therefore a good thing to enjoy. No wonder Islam gains 9 converts for every 3 to Christianity world wide...
Ohh I'll be ranting for hours now!

Maybe America is just a country where extremist views flourish - they still appear to exclude blacks from voting on any excuse in a few states (Missouri for instance)
A nurse friend of my tells me that apparently there are doctors and pharmacists in this country taking the same line. Be afraid for the future.
