Otherwise identical rape victims in private Catholic hospitals in Colorado are receiving different treatment based on their ovulation cycle.

Imagine two rape victims taken to the same hospital emergency room. Imagine them put in adjoining examination rooms.

Let’s say they have identical injuries.

Presume everything about them is the same except for where they are in their menstrual cycles.

Do they deserve access to the same medical treatment?

At most Catholic hospitals in Colorado, they can’t get it.

The protocol of six Catholic hospitals run by Centura calls for rape victims to undergo an ovulation test.

If they have not ovulated, said Centura corporate spokeswoman Dana Berry, doctors tell the victims about emergency contraception and write prescriptions for it if the patient asks.

If, however, the urine test suggests that a rape victim has ovulated, Berry continued, doctors at Centura’s Catholic hospitals are not to mention emergency contraception. That means the victim can end up pregnant by her rapist.

Hmm… how do I say this politely? I can’t. So, here goes: fuck you you fucking fucktard Cathofuckinlics and your fuckwad fucking conservative fuckface motherfucking friends.

Don’t they realize, they’re just increasing the numbers of abortions? Don’t they ever look in the mirror? Intolerance? Jesus freaks? Alan Keyes’ daughter is a lesbian. Dick Cheney’s daughter is a lesbian. I can’t even begin to imagine how many of these people’s daughters have had to have an abortion after one of the Kennedys raped ‘em. Just mind-boggling, gobsmacking, patriarchal evil here.

Fer fuck’s sake, people.
