Canada isn't exempt from crazy religious rules. Found out my daughter was raped 2 days ago. Hospital wont give morning after pill "because we're catholic"

The OP conveniently left out his daughter's medical history and simply assumed that's why she was not offered what he thought she should have.

If this person was sexually active (but happened to be raped), then she should have been on some kind of birth control, rendering the whole panic moot.

Even if this was the case, there's nothing credible about saying that pharmacies were also inaccessible. Every hospital, including the ones in the boonies, have a separate pharmacy in the building.

its highly accepted and recognized as a standard part of post-sexual trauma examinations (rape kits)

No, it isn't. Administering ANY medication is contingent upon taking the person's medical history and current medications they're already taking.

Your comment seems to suggest this is the only true “safe” form of BC, and that’s simply not accurate

It's not MY comment that suggests this, it's the AAP's own guidance after they have extensively studied the issue.

But you go ahead and email them that they're wrong because as Dr. Reddit, you know better, even though you obviously didn't even read the PDF they provide to justify the change in recommendations.

It’s also a misconception that using the morning after pill more than once will damage your health

This is an insanely vague and ridiculous straw man statement that only serves to underscore how utterly uninformed you are.
