WICCAN SAYS SHE GOT LECTURE, NOT BIRTH CONTROL PRESCRIPTION SHE WANTED
Amanda Blake believes in being prepared. So, when she turned 18 and started dating, she got the blessing of her father and went to get birth control pills even though she had no plans to have sexual relations with anyone. She didn’t count on seeing a doctor who she said gave her a lecture about morality and her religious beliefs and didn’t prescribe any kind of birth control for her.
Blake’s complaint is that during a Nov. 21 appointment with the doctor, she was not examined, and the doctor never gave her a prescription for birth control pills. She said the doctor questioned her for at least 20 minutes about her moral beliefs, career options and religion, and charged her $68 for the visit, which she paid. Amanda Blake, her dad, George Blake, and Amanda’s Wiccan pastor, Lady Rhiannon Dunham, believe that Amanda was discriminated against at least in part because of her Wiccan beliefs.

Aaaaahhhh! I grew up around there! Probably even went to that clinic at some point in my life. Small world. Interesting piece though. The world is certainly changing. I went to the Dr. at 16 to get on birth control and got it, no problems. Some people think they need to force morality. I think its a personal choice. As is your spirituality.
