[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not OP- but I'll bite-- I was shocked too when I asked about tubal ligation and was told they don't do those!  My OB said the only reason she could work there was because they do allow her to distribute the Pill.  I guess I was shocked because the doctors are so progressive there and it is the year 2012.  I guess I was naive to think religion could dictate a HOSPITAL in the US.  FWIW, I was raised Catholic.[/quote]

I am outraged at hearing more and more stories like this. For example, woman gets raped and when she gets to the hospital begs for the morning after pill given she is in the middle of her cycle......the doctor refused based on religious grounds.

I respect your religion doc, but don't push it on me and refuse me the treatment I have a right to receive.

The lady got pregnant and had an abortion later.

It is 2012 and I feel we are regressing. Please get involved and try to bring attention this and change this practice!!![/quote]

You don't have a "right" to receive any type of treatment you desire.  Georgetown is Catholic, they don't have to give out certain types of treatment, and people seeking those types of treatment must seek alternative providers.  Clearly Georgetown is operating successfully because there are plenty of people who are still willing to seek treatment there.

Your view is not the only view.  [/quote]
