So when does one persons rights take the place of another persons rights? And yes freedom of religion is also a right.
One's right to access adequate health care trumps the hospitals right to force their morality on their patients when the patients has nowhere else to go.
So if we can force medical practitioners to give meds, can we also in good faith force meds down patients throats if they do not want it?
No. Apples and oranges. Forcing someone to give something they view is immoral is vastly different than forcing someone to take something they feel is dangerous or immoral.
I do not see a moral problem with that, the ambos would just have to be aware.
If the JW hospital is the only one in close vicinity, it is a problem.
So you are telling me in Boston USA there was only one hospital withing three days travel (MAP is effective for 72 hours)?
Maybe, but what does it matter. The girl in our hypothetical did not have that choice. If she had, they wouldn't have had much of a show, not would they.
Again dont you think that just not accepting rape victims would be a better option than forcing the church to shut down all there hospitals? I would assume there are alot more cases of Apendicitis than there are of rape.
I suppose that would work. It just says a lot about your supposed "morality" if you would decline to care for an emergency rape patient because of the type of medicine she may request.
But in the instance where there are no other close hospitals, they should be forced to stock it, they should be forced to give it in an emergency situation.
Otherwise the hospitals need to be shut down, taken by the government, and given new leadership that actually cares more about it's patients than forcing it's morality on the patients.
Yet it was the girls choice to have the abortion and if she asked the fathers they would have advised against it.
They created the demand for an abortion. You can't step around that fact. If they had allowed her BC, there would have been no abortion.
The father is a rapist. He deserves nothing, least of all a child.
It is the same at the very least as BC......that the church is also against.
It is BC. But it isn't abortion, and isn't tantamount to abortion.
Why would the church want to rape her in the first place? No one is forcing her to do anything, the church merely wont partake in what it considers immoral.....she still made the choice, not the church, and it is the rapists fault that she needed the MAP or Abortion, so I dont see how you can blame the Church.
Nonsence I know, She has every right to choose.....and some choices you have to go elsewhere to fulfill.
Fopr example you are in the barber, and you choose to go out and get some KFC, do you get it from the barber or do you go to the nearest outlet?
I was referring to the hypothetical world in which abortion is illegal, and the church is still allowed to deny the girl BC. In which, everything I said in the last post stands. In such a world, she is being raped of her choice by uncaring Christians.
