A very interesting story.
Maybe you have already heard about this, but I just saw it on the Today show this morning. A Mennonite doctor in Pennsylvania refused to give a rape victim the Plan B morning after pill. The girl's mother was outraged. By the way she is Catholic. This article also states that:
"The Pennsylvania Catholic Health Association said the Catholic Church allows emergency contraception in the case of rape if tests for pregnancy and ovulation are negative."
To me this sounds like a complete crock. Besides the fact that this "Catholic" agency is obviously not in touch with the Church, it is also apparently not in touch with reason either. What exactly would be the point of administering "contraception" (abortafacia) to someone who is neither pregnant nor fertile?
It is such a sad thing to me when non-Catholics with correct beliefs are set in opposition to Catholics with incorrect beliefs. I am very proud of this doctor for standing up for his beliefs in a difficult situation. I am very sad for our faith and its overabundance of lukewarm members.
