For everyone who's saying that he was just sticking to his convictions--I would never work for a company that forced me to do something I didn't believe in--and I doubt most of you wouldn't, either. Luckily, I have been able to have like-minded employers...but if my convictions were so strong about something that would prevent others from getting what they needed, I would try to find an employer who fit in line with those so I wouldn't get in trouble for following my convictions. I'm sure either a strongly Christian pharmacy or a Catholic hospital has swooped him up now.
It's just that people like these men give Christians a bad name.

They do prescribe the pill, but it has to be for "alternative medical reasons." Basically, you have to go in and lie to them saying that your cramps are unbearable or something like that. Not all of the doctors will do it, but if you call to make an appointment to discuss something like that, they'll make sure you get a doctor who will. We do have a PP near campus, but it's in a slightly shady area. I can completely understand the school not letting us form VOX because "it conflicts with our Jesuit identity" but I thought that nurse was way out of line.
