True story.

One night a woman came to our Catholic hospital ER in Central Texas because she was sexually assaulted.

The doctor prescribed Plan B because the victim didn't want to carry her rapist's baby.

Our hospital refused to dispense it. Poor woman had to wait two days to get it from CVS.

This is the reality

Sorry to ask, but if such a place didn’t want to dispense it, why would they have it? Am I not understanding something about pharmacies here?

I work in a Catholic hospital. They think it will encourage "abortion". They would rather women carry a rapist's baby than help them to heal.

CVS is not a Catholic hospital. She got one from CVS and had her family to bring it in to the hospital.

Beware of Catholic hospital.

They should have it for the same reason they should have aspirin its called for.
