Patriot News reports that a rape victim in Pennsylvania was denied a morning-after pill by an emergency room doctor because it was against his religion.
Morning-after pills prevent pregnancy.
Pennsylvania law permits health care providers to deny service on religious grounds.
In my opinion, this rape victim was assaulted twice. First by a rapist and then by a physician. The rapist molested her physically. The physician molested her spiritually.

From the beginning, neighboring Rhode Island has prohibited spiritual molestation:
"noe person within the sayd colonye, at any tyme hereafter, shall bee any wise molested, punished, disquieted, or called in question, for any differences in opinione in matters of religion"
