Dispensable

Isn't it interesting that all the crises of conscience that trouble healthcare providers come at the expense of women? Their health, their safety, their options, in a variety of situations. I agree with the commenter who suggests requiring that emergency personnel be prepared either to do their jobs or find another provider right away -- a shrug is not acceptable health care! (And you can see how the moralistic fervor over, say, emergency contraception is bleeding ever wider into all sorts of nonsensical medical decisions...) grrrr....
