Universal health care, unless you’re a gurl.

Okay, I was thinking that the United States was leading the white european crazy brigade, but this takes the crazy to a whole new level. Isn’t the whole “we refuse to treat icky girls!” schtick the sort of thing that the (*spit*) Taliban does?
This is the problem with those odious anti-choice “conscience clause"s – once you’ve managed to put the camel’s nose under the tent for one thing, the whole rest of the camel comes thundering after. Start with "no birth control for you, slut!” (even in cases where it’s not actually birth control, but anti-choicers wouldn’t be the brightest people on the bus even if the bus was filled with shiny pebbles) and it slides gracelessly over to “if you’ve got cancer, we’re not going to tell you, because you’re a slut.”
The proper solution to any anti-choice asshole who pops up with claims to some “conscience clause” should be to say “fine. We’re pulling your license to (practice medicine|dispense drugs), but we invite you to find some other work that’s more suited to your barbaric religious beliefs.”
And while I’m at it, I’d like a pony.
