Tough Choices...

Today my story talks about a place where health care and morals meet. The result is a controversial bill going through the senate. The bill protects doctors if they refuse to give patients treatment that violates their moral code. This has a number of groups, like planned parenthood, concerned. They worry that it could bar access to things like birth control and the morning after pill, especially for women in rural areas with limited access to health care. It's a thorny topic that we're probably only going to see more to come. The issue of choice comes to the forefront --- it just seems like it's a matter of who gets to chose...doctors, patients or the government.
