Doctors refusing to prescribe birth control pills?!

This is a story from an actual newspaper(!):

An excerpt:

OTTAWA — At least three Ottawa family physicians are refusing to prescribe birth control pills or any form of contraception for their patients, saying doing so conflicts with their “medical judgment, professional ethical concerns and religious values.”

The doctors, who work at Care-Medics Medical Centres in Ottawa, distribute letters to patients informing them of their positions, according to office staff there. A copy of one of the letters, signed by Dr. Edmond Kyrillos, has been posted on Facebook through a group called Radical Handmaids.

The letter informs patients that the doctor only provides one form of birth control, “Natural Family Planning.”

“In addition, I do not refer for vasectomies, abortions nor prescribe the morning after pill or any artificial contraception. If you are interested in the latter, please be aware that you may approach your own family doctor or request to be seen by another physician.”

...

Radical Handmaids, which describes itself as a group of pro-choice advocates, said the letter was sent to them anonymously by a woman in Ottawa. “Yes this is a real doctor. No you are not in a time warp,” the posting read.

Among comments was this one from Kate Suppa: “When you become a doctor, you take an oath to do not harm. Impeding someone’s ability to receive the care they need is doing harm and should not be legal.”

My reaction?

OMG, sisters! Can you, like, believe this story? In Canada, in 2014, we still have practising physicians who have, like, 'moral values' and non-mainstream 'medical judgments.' WTF! If someone doesn't ban these people, I am so moving to Quebec. This kind of independence cannot be tolerated. We need to do a much better job of forcing our tolerant and progressive values, the sacred values of the anti-religious secular feminist state, upon those who dare to dissent. Let's go, long-suffering sisters (and the brave sensitive men who support them): let's womyn the barricades, let's crush these outliers! We must not let our clocks run backwards - now more than ever we must cling to our grand narrative of 'progress' and 'enlightenment' (in a pragmatic way, of course, that is, when it's convenient).
