If a woman were bleeding to death from a botched abortion would a pro-life doc just let her die? Due to religious reasons?

Or would he try to save her life?

If he tried to save her life wouldn't he be going against everything he believes in? Isn't that why he REFUSES to prescribe birth control pills?

Where does a doctor draw the line when he/she uses religion as a weapon to protect him/her from prosecution?

    Of course, the Dr would try to save the woman. 

    The pharmacist who refuses to fill a prescription is refusing to take a life. (It is the abortion pill, they refuse not basic birth control pills)

    Employers REFUSE to cover birth control pills m2c. NOT DAY AFTER pills. BIRTH CONTROL PILLS. So do religious doctors refuse to prescribe them.  Religiouus Pharmacists REFUSE to fill prescriptions for BIRTH CONTROL PILLS.  It is against their religion they say and the courts uphold it. Sheesh. I have no idea where you got the idea it is limited to DAY AFTER pills m2c. Thank you for your reply m2c.

    Catholic employers may refuse BCP. The others are refusing BC that are abortifacients. (There are more than just Plan B)
    Pharmacists refuse the same abortifacients. Again Catholics may object to BCP. I believe if they are the only pharmacist on duty most pharmacies require them to fill the order. Pharmacies should have a policy in place to protect the workers 1st amendment rights and still serve the customer efficiently. This post was edited by my2cents at February 14, 2019 5:39 AM MST
