Air Force nurse refused to provide contraception to patients on religious grounds

You are right PO1 William "Chip" Nagel ! For f's sake, someone on RP get all riled up over something that offends their sensibilities. In case you didn't catch it, I am talking about you. Did you read the actual story or did the headline meet your threshold of being offended? If you had done due diligence, the sign actually tells her patients that she will refer them to someone else if they want contraceptives. By the way, that is completely in line with the regulations. Due your due diligence so you don't look like an idiot. Here are the regs that spell out that what she did is actually how it supposed to be taken care of. You may not believe in religion, but many do and they take their beliefs seriously. You blasting them for their beliefs is just as bad as some of the stuff that Trump says. Let that sink in.... http://www.nursingworld.org/DocumentVault/Ethics-1/Defense-Department-Report-Ethical-Guidelines.pdf

Hmmm...sounds like she's in compliance with AFIs:
"under Air Force regulation AFI 44-102, medical personnel are allowed to decline to provide family planning services, including contraceptives, sterilization, and emergency contraception, if they have moral, ethical, religious or professional objections. But the AFI also states that objecting personnel are obligated to “facilitate timely identification of a willing provider” who can provide such services."
Why is this a story? If people take issue with it, they should work to get the AFI changed.

That is just wrong! She represents herself.
