religious objections
I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free.
I'm going to break down the story linked above because it is so totally fucked up I feel a need to make the time-line of events clear so the slow ones get it too:
1) 21-year old woman gets dragged behind a building while walking to her car late at night and is raped.
2) Raped woman calls police.
3) Police pick her up and begin investigating the rape.
4) Police discover rape victim failed to pay restitution on a juvenile arrest and thus has an outstanding warrant.
5) Police stop investigating the rape, arrest the rape victim, and take her to jail where she stays imprisoned for several days.
6) Jail staff deny rape victim access to emergency birth control given to her by a doctor citing "religious objections".
WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF COUNTRY DO WE LIVE IN?!?!?
UPDATE: It turns out the arrest warrant was a "paperwork error":
It was from an arrest when the woman was a juvenile and she was accused of not paying restitution. The woman says she was not aware there was a warrant out for her, and her attorney says it appears to be a paperwork error.
