7. Also from the article
Time is running out for legislators to try to override the governor's ridiculous veto of an emergency-contraception notification bill for rape victims.

...

It includes Owens, who argues that religious freedom allows private religious hospitals to collect public dollars, then lets them treat rape victims differently based on a definition of conception that differs from that of the National Institutes of Health.


So basically the Governor thinks that they should get public funds and also be allowed to decide who gets this information and who doesn't. That isn't right.

Also, if we want to talk about maintaining that wall, then we need to make sure there are public hospitals that WILL provide this information in the area. The Catholic hospitals are expanding as the funding for public hospitals dries up, and there may not be an option to go to a hospital that will provide EC in some places.
