what passes for health care in rural Ohio
If you are an umarried woman living in rural Ohio, and you want to obtain a prescription for emergency contraception, well, good luck with that. From The Den of the Biting Beaver comes this sordid tale of one woman's attempt to get something that she made the mistake of thinking that she, as an American citizen, was entitled to have without needing to justify her sexual habits and marital situation to strangers.
The motto of the Biting Beaver is "gnawing away at sexism and misogyny, one patriarchal asshole at a time!" Sadly, the Beaver has got her work cut out for her in this red state.

Wow! I knew it was bad. I am a poor rural American woman myself, but this really sucks. Of course, as a VA patient, (female), I can't even get Condoms, because I'm not an HIV risk. They don't give them to females for contraception. Who do they think we run the risk of pregnancy with? Ok, don't answer that.
I feel bad that this woman went through this much pain and humiliation over a natural human act and a medication/method that should have been available to her.
