Sorry, but if you don't show up to work your first week on a job,

for any reason - don't you expect to be fired? There is no vacation, you are still on probation.... did the employeer even know why she missed work?

And while she is out they have to cover for her, they can't just take a temp, daycare workers have to be vetted... and they don't make enough money to put up with this. I doubt they fired herbecause of her attach, but because she missed the first week of work, and they don't know her, or are emotionally attached to her - she is just some stranger who didn't show. If she'd just been sick, or something else they probably would have still fired her. In the real grown up world, no matter what your hard luck story is, you can't miss your first week of work and still expect to have a job.

All obyn's must be affiliated with a hospital - to get hospital rights to see their patients in the hospital, or deliver babies.

Which means they have to agree to the hospital rules. Period.

The majority of hospitals in this country are run by religious groups, and if you only have religious hospitals in your area, you are probably out of luck it is not a matter of finding a willing doctor. If the local hospital run by a religious group has rules about abortions, tubals, or getting snipped. The doctors with privileges at the hospital can not break those rules, with out risking their privileges.

And those who are saying, why the big deal if there is birth control - excuse me but isn't one of the big issues, of pharmasist refusing to sell birth control to unmarried women? And with some of the laws they are trying to pass in some states, assuming that there will be birth control is a fallacy.

Surgical birth control may become more practical, as the pill gets harder to get ahold of in the future. And in a country were it is getting harder and harder to get an abortion - it looks better and better as an option of people who don't think they want kids.

What about those millions of US kids for adoption!

This would only come from people who have never tried to permanently place, or adopt an American foster kid - beaten abused, abandoned, sexually abused, you'd think it be easy if you were a normal person. But the expense, the time of dealing with the children's services, the house inspection, the 60 hours of manitory (varies by state) parenting classes - the fact that after the adoption you are still in the system and your life will always be open for strangers inspection. The legal cost of dealing with and double checking that both parents have really had their parental rights severed (don't trust the children services on this, or it will come back to bite you) is VERY expense, after 24,000$ my adoptions failed, and so did five other couples that I know. They were all married at the time, and some of them had tried twice to adopt foster kids, they gave up and adopted Chinese kids. It was a lot easier, quicker, and cheaper. As a single person I was ineligible, and I wasn't really looking for a baby, my foster kids had become eligible for adoption (I had been told by Children services) - they had been with me 2+ years of their young lives(5 & 7) so I started the process, to only find out that the mother who had fled the state (to avoid arrest) - had never actually had the charges filed against her, and therefor had not been severed of her rights, she sued for return of her kids - she didn't get the kids - but the judge made it so the kids were no longer eligible for adoption, only foster care and I'd had enough - loving kids to have them jerked in and out of your home is to heart aching cruel.

I would never, NEVER, NEVER advise anyone to adopt from the American foster system, it will cost you more money, more time and more likely to fall through than a foreign adoption, or one where you are dealing with a birth mother who is not in the system. If children services involved, you don't want to be.

Besides they don't want you to adopt, they want you to have a "permanent placement" - ie they are still foster kids, and you are dealing with crazy birth parents, and a new case worker every couple of months who wants visit and pick apart your private life - it is NOT the same as adoption, and it doesn't make the kids feel safe - and these so called permanent placements can be revoked at anytime - the kids are never really yours, and you can find yourself in the place of having promised the kids, that you would always be their mommy, and they will be with you, and have the state take them at anytime. Don't do it

And people who don't have any clue should stop spouting off about adopting American foster kids, the system needs to be seriously reformed. But when it comes to permanently taking a kid away from a parent , we the public don't have much will, or many legal options to do so - and permanent placement is not an adoption, or permanent.
