Planned Parenthood does provide birth control in fact. And when a woman is pregnant, it's too late for birth control, abortion is the only way to stop her from continuing to be pregnant.

BTW, I really dislike how abortion in the US is limited to specific clinics and how not all OBGYNs provide them. If you don't want to provide abortions, get another specialty. It would be much better if a woman can get an abortion in any hospital/OBGYN clinic, the same way you can get any other procedure. Then the wackos that protest and harass women will not be able to actually do anything because the same doctor that performs abortions gives prenatal care and delivers babies and the maternity wards both provide abortions and take care of pregnant women that carry to term. That's the way it works in quite a few countries.

Absolutely the same belief here, and I've been considered a heretic on this front for years. It's segregated care, and few feminists I know see it this way. We shouldn't have to go to a clinic surrounded by angry, religious protesters to get care we need, it's just so disrespectful. All the way around. except it's simply getting worse with hospital mergers and religious hospitals creating monopolies. The alternative is both sensible and normal to most people.

Yep, go have your religious freedom and all, but at work, do your basic work duties. If you find serving meat unethical because you're a vegan, don't go work as a waitress at a restaurant that serves meat. You can't just refuse to serve meat and the restaurant doesn't have to work around your request to not serve meat.

Sadly, that's not how it's playing out here.
