WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS HORSESHIT?

Oklahoma Doctor Refuses To Provide Rape Victim With Emergency Contraception

According to the victim’s mother, Rhonda, the doctor at the hospital not only refused to help her, but did not get another doctor to provide them the medication. Emergency contraception’s effectiveness diminishes over time, and is most effective when taken immediately. The doctor, however, was shielded from providing the perfectly legal medication because of Oklahoma’s “conscience clause“:

She was treating my daughter like she had done something wrong. […] My daughter said, “is it you who wont give [emergency contraception] to me? Do you have them here and you just won’t give them to me?” and she said, “That’s right. I will not give you emergency contraceptives because it goes against my beliefs.“

Fire that motherfucker and strip them of their license.
