Bob Casey Jr. is in favor of abusing rape victims (UPDATE - Mistaken Double-negative poll removed)

Several weeks ago a young woman was sexually assaulted.  She quickly obtained a prescription for the morning after pill - as she quite sensibly didn't want to become pregnant with the rapists baby.  When she tried to have the prescription filled, she was VIOLATED AGAIN.  This time by a talabangilist pharmacist who refused to give her the pills.

What does this have to do with Casey?  More below the fold:

Casey supports the "right" of wingnut fundamentalist asshole pharmacists to not give patients, such as RAPE VICTIMS, their pills.

According to the Philidelphia Enquire:

Casey said he would, as a senator, oppose expanding federally supported embryonic stem-cell research beyond 2001 levels. He would not require pharmacists to go against personal beliefs and fill prescriptions for emergency contraceptives, which prevent a fertilized egg from implanting."

Casey's willingness to accommodate the personal prejudices of talibangilists at the expense of the health and welfare of the American people is reprehensible.  It is no different than "allowing" a service sector employee to refuse to serve a customer because the employee has "moral objections" to serving black people. If the Democratic party is going to support a candidate who openly has no problem with the mistreatment of rape victims, then perhaps I am in the wrong party.
