jklugman says:

The mother of the victim went on the Donny Deutsch show and argued with the head of a pro-life physicians group.

What is notable is the conservative position of the mother and Deutsch--they do not even want to force the doctor to prescribe the contraception, they just wanted the doctor to inform the victim of all of her options.

This is an outrage and every doctor that refuses to do his or her job needs to find a new profession. The way women are treated over this issue is barbaric.</p> <P><A href="http://movies.crooksandliars.com/Donny-Deutsch-Plan-B.wmv"><STRONG>Video</STRONG></A>-WMP <A href="http://movies.crooksandliars.com/Donny-Deutsch-Pl.mov"><STRONG>Video</STRONG></A>-QT</p> <P>Plan B is not an abortion pill, but an <A href="http://www.estronaut.com/a/Plan_B_Morning_After_Emergecy_Contraceptive.htm">emergency contraceptive</A> and these doctors are not performing their jobs at the detriment of their patients. Can you imagine being raped and having someone refuse this treatment on the grounds of their religious beliefs? Dr. Donna Harrison has the nerve to say that if a doctor is forced to prescribe this pill–it will bring back Nazi Germany. This twisted logic permeates their talking points and has no place in it. Deutsch rightly lambasted her for these views.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/1B9C8D02-C85B-4E58-BAB7-E72E6665BC4E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
