Refusal Clauses: A Threat to Reproductive Rights
Alarmingly, an increasing number of pharmacists and physicians are refusing to dispense birth control or write women prescriptions for contraception. These health care professionals cite their religious, moral, ideological, and personal objections to the use of contraceptives. Prescription refusal is a disturbing trend that can jeopardize woman's reproductive health. Denying women their rights to timely access to health care is an act of discrimination that could lead to an increased number of unintended pregnancies.
Widespread Use of Contraception Can Reduce the Number of Unplanned Pregnancies
Ninety-five percent of American women use contraception at some point during their reproductive years. More than 50 percent of contracepting women use prescription methods. Approximately 27 percent use oral contraceptive pills (AGI, 2004a). Oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) and the dedicated product, Plan B, can be used for emergency contraception (EC). Emergency contraception pills (ECPs), when started within 120 hours of unprotected intercourse, greatly reduce a woman's risk of pregnancy. They are more effective the sooner a woman starts taking them. The use of ECPs could prevent an estimated 1.7 million unintended pregnancies and 800,000 abortions each year
Contraception Refusals by Pharmacists
OCPs and ECPs work by preventing ovulation and fertilization (Hatcher, et al., 2004; ACOG, 1998). Despite this scientific fact, anti-choice organizations and individuals foment against women's access to safe, effective, and legal contraception by promoting false claims that OCPs and ECPs are abortifacients .
How about castrating every single male, that out to make women abortion free.
How about you, are you pro life or pro choice, I will be pro choice until something is done to help poor women in this country.
Do you practice abstinence? Do you pray instead of having sex for birth control?
You know why they don't want to give birth control free for women and men in this country?
Deny ignorance Sex is part of us and is nothing any of us can do about it but making poor women having to get abortions when they can not afford birth control, so pro choice fanatics can point fingers and call "baby killers"
Deny ignorance and lets work together so is affordable or free birth control for poor women.
Or you go around pointing fingers and calling baby killers.
