what I was thinking. Religion soulhdn't come into play PERIOD with a job unless IT is religious related. I mean isn't this why all of that faith stuff is MISSING from job applications? There are job standards for a reason. Employers HAVE that disclaimer' about; race, religion, gender, sexual preference, listed as not being a FACTOR in the hiring process. This would mean they could get rid of that. This truely worries me. In a similar situation to Rivkah, I was getting a physical so I could be cleared to do GYMNASTICS; all I did was ASK about the pill. This doctor had already made a face, which was a sneer in my opinion, when I told her what highschool I went to. It was known for having a large group of African American/Hispanic/Asian girls with STDs and/or children, being black and female I automatically became a statistic. During the physical she asked all the standard questions about my sexual activity and if I might be pregnant. The woman asked me three times if I'd had sex, I was 16, I'd never even held a boys hand let alone slept with one. She even asked me if I was SURE' if I'd never had sex. She insulted me, big time. I remember looking at her and going; I think I'd know if a penis had been inside me. Have you had sex? Do you remember the penises inside you? When was your last period? Are you SURE it was that week? Don't insult me. She pretty much froze and looked devastated I'd asked her the same questions she'd ask me. So I told her my question wasn't about the pill for SEX. I had irregular periods and competitions were usually mid-month. Then she started going on about abstenance and keeping better track of my period because I JUST couldn't be as irregular as I claimed. She said I needed to think about this more because the pill could have serious side effects. I got upset (she did this in front of my mother no-less). So we both left and reported her. Apparently she'd done this to several girls, many from MY school at the time because this was the closest clinic. I don't know what her reason was but if I came from a school with a HISTORY of STDs and unplanned pregnancies why deny me the pill? I ended up getting the pill at my schools mini-clinic with no problem or OBJECTIONS. It's bad enough medicine is insanely expensive, guh, so someone would have the power to be able to tell me NO even when I can pay for them. That makes me wanna puke in my mouth a bit. Nobodies diety has anything to do with me needing Vicodin (which is really addictive I hear) for pain while I recover from an ear infection. Ridiculous much. A missed dose of medicine for some people really could mean life or death or a mental break down that could LEAD to death by suicide. So wow, yeah, don't apply for a job in a field like that if you can't seperate job requirements' from faith'. That concept should be a Tier one violation of job policy or something. Automatic termination.I wonder vaguely if anyone finds it morally/religiously objectionable to give out lose dose narcotics, prescription, to recovering crack abusers? Where's the religion in THAT?Also why does it seem like all of these laws lately have to do with sex, abortion, and just SEX anything in general? I am AMAZED people are still trying to FIGHT against what in end turns out to be SEX. Are these people not created by sex themselves? They're against sex, they're against abortion, they're against sex ed Honestly it sounds like they're against LIFE because sex makes that right? I'm so lost. How about we pass out condoms and any form of BC for free right along with those brochures about how much God loves us? What a way to mix medicine and religion! I really appreciate your posts about all of this. Politics in general confuse me but they make a lot more sense after I read your posts and everyone's reponses. All of this just scares me though. Too many strangers trying to control my life and choices.
