Emergency Contraception Bill (EC)

The Governor of Colorado vetoed a bill to require all hospitals to inform rape victims of the EC pill. Bill Owens said his Catholic faith did not influence his descision to veto the bill proposed by rep. Betty Boyd. So if a rape vicim is sent to a public Catholic hospital, I hope she doesn't want to be educated about what options are available for her unfortunate situation. BUT she should be allowed to access whatever medication that would better her situation; regardless of the religious affiliation of her local hospital. Needless to say, I think the separation of church and state is too progressive for many American politicians. (Good thing the US pres. leads the way by demanding that all schools fly their flags at half mast for the POPE)


It seems that a democratic state would support giving all possible information to the public, especially regarding life-changing decisions (as giving birth).

I hope that there will be more bills attempting to ensure ALL types of healthcare options to the public- and that keep religion out of politics
Though this might be a moot point- I feel that free voices often propel politics in a positive direction
