I'm really hoping the shift back to a less conservative federal government in last November's midterm elections means the influence of the Religious Right & Christian evangelical extremists is finally on the wane and that I will see fewer of these crazy-ass stories in the media:
"A woman who told police she had been raped was jailed for two days after officers found an old warrant accusing her of failing to pay restitution for a 2003 theft arrest.
While she was behind bars, according to the college student’s attorney, a jail worker refused to give her a second dose of the morning-after contraceptive pill because of the worker’s religious convictions [emphasis added].
The 21-year-old woman was released Monday only after attorney Vic Moore reported her plight to the local media."
