(A Catholic hospital like St. E's, of course, will neither prescribe nor fill a prescription for EC, for moral reasons, and they are considered to be perfectly within their right to do so.)

I like hearing intelligent thought and although I may not agree with you on every aspect I appricate the mannor of your post. Thanks for sharing :)
