and work for a OBGYN, then you better not judge women that choose to have abortions. I met a nurse today that admitted she likes to be rude to women that have abortions at her doctors office. Thats like working for a plastic surgeon and not liking women that get breasts implants. As a nursing student I feel nurses should be above that, or if you dont agree, condemn it in your heart but treat them kindly like all patients deserve to be treated after undergoing a surgery.


It is perfectly legal to teach that condoms are not as effective as absintence in preventing the spread of disease, and has the advantage of being demonstrably true, but people are allowed to disrupt religious gatherings to throw condoms at people. It is absolutely legal to wear fur and eat meat, but people are allowed to be rude and harass people who do as such (though I note that few such activists have the cojones to bother a Hell's Angel clad head to toe in cow skin). It is perfectly legal to cut down trees, but people physically interfere with, and sabotage such activity, which costs far more money than the rudest OB/GYN nurse ever cost her patients.

If her employer does not have a problem with her attitude, or thinks that her abilities as a nurse compensate for her quirks regarding a potential infanticide, that is his business. Go to a different doctor if you don't like the service.

If people are busting into your church to throw condoms at you, call the cops and have them arrested. Being rude to people wearing animal skin is also entirely legal, but if you're doing it to patrons of a business the owner may have a few words with you. It's perfectly legal to cut down trees, and people physically interfering with or sabotaging efforts to cut down trees whose owners have approved it are breaking the law and subject to arrest and prosecution.

You know all of that, too, it just makes things punchier to ignore it. Ultimately a sneering nurse or PETA members boss decides whether to continue employing them, you're quite right. But whether it's a nurse giving women crap for abortions or a clothing store employee giving them crap for buying a mink, I doubt many business owners will long tolerate employees who discourage customers. Anyway, since when does bad behavior by one side in a debate justify it in the other? In this case maybe it's as simple as the difference between giving CARE and just giving treatment for money. Which perhaps is the real explanation for what Aisha experienced.
