But it's not. It is about control.  There is no ABSOLUTELY NO Biblical justification for this.

Pharyngula: They have a conscientious need to control your ovaries:
If you want to see the consequences of the recent wave of attempts to endorse "provider conscience rules", in which health care providers are permitted to freely exercise their whims and biases in providing clients and patients their services, read this story. As usual, it's all about controlling the reproductive choices of women: we've had politicians blocking access to Plan B contraception; laws that would allow doctors to deny care if it was against their religious beliefs; and pharmacists who refuse to fill birth control prescriptions. Beyond simply passive denial of giving a patient what they need, though, we now have gone to the next step: wingnuts actively removing birth control devices against the patient's will. Nurse practitioner Sylvia Olona of the Presbyterian Health Services Rio Rancho Family Health Center in New Mexico has been taking it upon herself to yank out the IUDs of patients in her care.
It really has become clear to me: If the only way to express "Love Your God" is to show hate in any form to your neighbor, you're not loving God.

wow that nurse is an idiot. a 'little' tug does not pull out an IUD - it requires a pretty significant pull and usually the use of a surgical instrument to GRAB the strings - not your hands. I would know since I had an IUD and just got it out
