Exactly. I agree that it is a problem. I don't think Dr. B should have to provide an abortion if she doesn't want to. However, I'd like to see that previously mentioned 14 year old rape victim get an abortion if she wants one, and not have to travel a hundred miles to do so. I don't have a solution. To address the original post, I absolutely feel that a pharmacist who refuses to dispense birth control, if that was required of him when he accepted the job, should be fired. I feel that a doctor who refuses to provide an abortion if her employer made it clear that was part of the job when she took it should be fired. However, no doctor who runs her own practice should need to provide any service she is not comfortable with, for whatever reason. Ditto if you own the pharmacy. So, if you accept it as terms of your employment, you don't get to change your mind later, but the government shouldn't be telling doctors and pharmacists what they need to do.

According to Dorland's Medical Dictionary: treatment /treat·ment/ (tret´ment) management and care of a patient Do you feel an elective procedure doesn't involve care and management?

As long as Dr X is within a reasonable distance, that's fine. Where it becomes a problem is in small towns where the nearest doctor or pharmacy could be miles away. Sometimes that means if Dr. W can't do the procedure and Pharmacist Z won't prescribe the meds, the patient doesn't get the treatment they want. I don't really see a solution to this.

Not unless they try to blame McDonalds for it. Fat people don't bother me. A lack of personal responsibility is irritating, though.

If he is that horrible, and I am not doubting you, then he should still be given supervised visits. ] He was that horrible, and I agree with you, but the judge did not agree with us, and he's the one that counts. The child should not have to suffer financially because the judge chose not to grant visitation.

Cherry-picking some inflammatory evidence, counselor? In court, I am sure that it is valuable to stack all the facts to support your opinion before asking. However, that one isolated instance has little to do with this situation. In fact, it has little to do with MOST situations. In most situations, dads are NOT drug-addicted, child-abusing, rich executives. The "one man is guilty, so all men are guilty" is poor logic and sexist. If you said, "one black person is an abusive drug user, so all black people are.", you would be a racist. Statistics show that most fathers do pay their child support while the court. Statistics also show that 40% of women admit violating a visitation agreement to punish the father. ... That wasn't my point. I'm sure most fathers do pay their support and try to be good fathers. I'm not arguing with you about that. Windcatcher said that if the father wasn't given the opportunity to parent the child, he shouldn't have to pay to support it. I gave a situation that I saw in real life where the father was financially able, the mother was not and the child was suffering for it, but the father was not a fit parent and would not be granted custody, and asked her if he should still have to pay support in this situation.

Lol this one definitely goes to the top 5 of most idiotic comments I have ever read on an online forum... As I'm reading it, I don't think it's idiotic at all. Let people make their own decisions here, and let them be judged by a supreme being (that may or may not exist) after their death. Royd's opinion (or mine) about whether or not the woman's reasons were good enough isn't the one that counts.

As I understand it, the pill has two functions. The first is to make sure that no egg is released in the first place. The second is to prevent implantation should an egg be released and fertilized.

I don't care how religious someone is. I do care when they try to make me follow their beliefs.

Real life situation I saw in court (different one than guppie's): Kid's mom was a stay at home mom for the first five years of Kid's life, at the insistence of kid's Dad. Dad is a very well paid executive who likes to party. A lot of his earnings go up his nose, and he's never home, and tends to smack the kid and his mom around when he's drinking, which is pretty much whenever he's not high. Mom finally gets up the guts to leave, files for divorce. Proves to the court Dad is an unfit parent, given his record of being busted for possession of drugs, and the numerous domestic violence police calls to the house. Mom's been out of the workforce for five years, and didn't go to college because Dad had discouraged it, because he made more than enough money. She manages to get a secretarial job, which isn't quite enough to make the rent on a one bedroom apartment in the area her son goes to school. Are you saying that Dad shouldn't have to pay child support because the judge didn't grant him visitation??!

Not necessarily. Most parents don't keep a separate account for "child support" and spend that account solely on the kids. Child support goes to help pay the rent, make the car payment, pay the grocery bill, pay the utility bills, etc... If the parent has a decent job and can afford a nice car, why do you automatically assume that the parent is spending the child support money on the new car? If the child support money is going to cover the non-custodial parent's half of the child's costs, of course the custodial parent is going to have more money to spend on other things than they would have otherwise.

Applecare can be purchased anytime within the first year of ownership, but I doubt Applecare would cover damage from being dropped. They did when I dropped my iBook.

The visitation rights, that she is refusing to allow, are also court ordered. What will the judge think of that? I didn't see any indication that the judge had ordered visitation, beyond the supervised visitation that Guppie said he had been attending. If she was refusing visitation, she would look bad, so it's better for him if he does not look bad also.

Whether or not he sees the kids, the kids still need clothes, shoes, and food. He still needs to pay his half. Edited to add: remind your friend that failing to pay is failing to follow a court order, and the judge will not look kindly on that when evaluating a request for a change in custody. If she's really that bad, he needs to shut up and let his lawyer deal with it, because she will hang herself eventually. Drug addicts tend to do that.

Do you have AppleCare? If so, they'll probably fix it.

DUH. If you can be forced to kill people you sure as fuck outta be able to legally drink or ingest any fuckin thing you want. First, it's a volunteer army. Second, being able to enter into a contract has nothing to do with being able to legally drink (or not). It's not always a volunteer army. We do have the ability to draft. If someone is of an age where their country considers them adult enough to be drafted and sent off to war, they should also be considered adult enough to vote and drink alcohol and purchase weapons.

Drive to the ER and get the CT scan now! This doesn't sound like something that can wait until next week, and a hospital has doctors that can read them and get the results immediately.

Our tap water has a very high mineral content. If you leave a glass of water out and let the water evaporate, the entire bottom of the glass is covered with hard water deposits.

On the kitchen sink, I can control how much water comes out and what temperature it is with one knob. On the shower, the knob just turns, and when I start turning, it's very cold with low pressure, in the middle, it's kinda warm with a lot of pressure, and at the end it's hot (or supposed to be) with lower pressure.

Um... no.

Congrats!!! Best wishes to you and her mom, and the little one, of course!

Wow! Thanks!!! The place was built around '78.

it will also depend on whether the sink is upstream or down stream of the shower The bathroom is set up as: sink, toilet, shower, all on the same wall.
