prescribe a young girl the morning after pill , then you should find another
profession. What about the doctor? Should they be forced to perform services and
prescribe medications that are against their moral beliefs? Dr. Donald Thompson,

Nine in ten
faith-based physicians indicated they would leave medicine if they were denied
the ability to practice according to their moral beliefs. 88 % of

similar moral beliefs as their doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers.
So, what is Congress doing about this? And Obama? Does he have an opinion on the
