No they shouldn't. The woman should find a willing doctor. Not all doctors have the experience to perform such procedures and ethically if they don't have the experience they shouldn't be performing that procedure. Of course, unless it's a life and death situation. If they have that experience, then it's very likely that they don't have issues with it otherwise they wouldn't have the experience to begin with.

But that is not the same as an employer being forced to make BCP's available to it's employees under the medical plan. You can choose doctors you can't really choose medical plans. You go to the best job available to you and you take the benefits you are given. If the law says that the benefits should be the same for everyone, so be it.

Anyway, shouldn't the Catholic organizations have a little bit of faith in those they employ, if they are in fact true Catholics, not partake in such things or does faith only go one way?

Is the Catholic employer going to be with you on your doctor visit to make sure that you don't get the bcp's? Will the Catholic employer receive a report saying how many bcp's are issued under their plan and by whom (who)? Honestly I think gov't and religion should stay out of personal medical decisions.

Ok I was all over the place there.
