Bob,
I agree with you fully on the point that a health care provider is morally obligated to do what is necessary to treat the patient to the best of their ability. it is disgusting that so many people can’t get medicine and treatment they need simply because they don’t have enough money. This is why i am behind government funded health care, to make the point of health care to help people and not make money.
However, it does not apply in this case. Someone purchasing birth control is not a patient, they are a customer. A businessman is under no obligation to sell a particular product.
And your example from your own life does not apply because it is not the cast that the pharmacist is refusing to sell to a particular customer due to his beliefs, the pharmacist is refusing to sell a particular product. there is nothing prejudiced about it.
For the record, I do believe that a pharmacy should sell birth control. I also believe that it is the pharmacy owner’s decision whether or not to carry it, not mine.

Rights, stripped of all moral pretensions, are simply things that the group in power says you may do. To my knowledge, there is nothing in the Constitution about how every woman has the right to have birth control. But that is not the point, the point is that in a free market society the business owner has the right to make the decisions about his business as long as it conforms to the laws. And it is not like these, as Cassy rightly points out, WHOPPING SEVEN pharmacies are making it impossible for women to get birth control. They are simply saying, go to a different pharmacy. There is absolutely nothing stopping women from going to one of the thirty other pharmacies every town has to get birth control.

Seriously Salt ‘N’ Pepa’s song, ‘None of Ur Business’ is a great song choice! There’s no way it’s slut music (and I’m sorry you don’t get laid enough). It’s a song about how a woman should be aloud to do whatever the hell she wants sexually. It’s not fair if a woman can’t and a man can.

Besides all pharmacies should give out birth control. If you have morals against it, why are you running a pharmacy? Go run a church.

What the heck is this world coming too and what is this saying to our children….our you crazy…..the morning after pill, no accountability
no love, just if it feels good do it…typical of what goes on with our politicians…As the mother of a twelve year old, I cannot even believe I lived to see the day there is a morning after pill. My Dad told me keep your legs crossed and did.

You Tube’s freeze-frame of her expression says it all. Thanks for watching it so the rest of us don’t have to.

Good post.

Here’s the thing about this one.. Pharmacists are considered to be medical professionals. As such, they are supposed to treat all patients equally and fairly. This group of pharmacists is *not* doing that and instead they are using their religious beliefs to deny patient care. (‘contraceptives’ are prescribed for a heck of a lot more than just birth control)
This is similar to me, as a Paramedic, saying “I won’t treat this person because they’re Muslim/gay/black/a Packers fan/etc.” As health care professionals, we are not supposed to let our own personal feelings and beliefs interfere with our patient care. If their own conscious is so strong that they cannot provide a consistent level of patient care to ALL patients regardless of their background or beliefs, then perhaps it is time for them to consider a profession where it is acceptable to discriminate based on ‘conscious.’
And seriously. Condoms break. That’s not uncommon at all. The ‘morning after’ pill is not an ‘abortion pill’ anyway. It prevents implantation. No egg is ever fertilized, no ‘baby’ is being terminated, no death of anything.
