Blog 4 Morning-After Pill


In todays “New York Times” newspaper, under World Briefing, it is an article about how the morning after pill is now allowed for victims of rape in the hospitals that are run by the Germany’s Roman Catholic Church. After facing strong criticism about turning down two rape victims because staff members were concerned about emergency contraception. The bishops of the church made a statement Thursday saying, “They had not been aware that various forms of emergency contraception were available.” After talking to medical experts the bishops of the church agreed that administering drugs that no way aborted a fertilized egg was a good justified in cases of rape The bishops will tell the hospital that are run through the church that, “women who have been the victims of rape are provided human, medical, psychological, and pastoral support which includes the morning after pill. I am happy that the churches decide to allow these rape victims to get help with this troubling and horrible situation they have been put into. It makes me happy when churches allow for morning after pill and abortions for rape victims. Rape is already a hard thing to deal with and having a baby would not make it any better.
