If a store does not want to sell birth control that should be their business, it's not as though cvs is the only pharmacy in the country, would you have written this ballot if a cvs refused to sell viagra?
Grapost - you're a real commedian. You nearly got me on this one! Lol
It is becoming a theocracy isnt it? just like in Iran, except they are ruled by Islamic law
On the other hand if the law applies to the individual alone then maybe...like I probably wouldnt serve alcohol to a visibly pregnant woman, i dont know if i could, i would pass her on to the next bartender.
Yes I have definatly heard this law and not only do they want to do this, but they also want to make abortion illegal....mmmmmm we are over populated why?
Some doctors refuse to do abortions, I don't think anyone would want to force a doctor to do that.
I think it's OK for a pharmacy to decide not to dispense certain medications. I don't think it's OK for an employee to refuse, when there isn't another employee to provide the service. But then I also think that employee should perhaps seek another job.
That's retarded. If someone's religious beliefs don't allow them to perform their job, they need to get another job.
Dammit HB! How did you slip that in before me? ;)
if you don't want to do abortions, don't become a gynaecologist. There are plenty of other branches of medicine to specialise in.
Unfortunately, those doctors who do abortions, are subject to terrorism.
Odd that the Patriot Act doesnt cover those people who murder doctors and blow up clinics.
ah you both beat me there. I was doing two things at once.
VERY good point, Steelhamster
keith, I disagree with that, there are other doctors who can do the abortions, some doctors might want to diliver live babies, not tare one out of the womb.
and there are some women who would not want a doctor to deliver their baby if he also does abortions.
Larry, there may be many doctors who do not wish to do abortions, the point I made was that some who willing do abortions, are subject to attack.
Noone is suggesting a doctor be 'forced' to do an abortion, nor would any doctor agree to euthanasia if they were morally against it.
It all about freedom of choice.
this is what I was responding to

it would be goodbye constitution truthseeker if pharmacys were forced to sell birth control, look at both sides of the issue, not just the liberal side that suits your views
Hmmm, would a vegan apply for a job in an slaughterhouse? Surely if the job description said that selling contraceptives was part of the work, surely that would not be the profession for you, if you had a moral or ethical objection?
the indiv. thing would be between she and her employer as to rather she should be hired, but if a owner of a store does not want to sell birh control, than he should not have to.
if a doctor wants to deliver live babies , and not abort them, that should also be his choice, if a mother does not want a doctor who aborts babies, delivering hers, that is her choice.
THE KEYWORD IS CHOICE
I believe that was the point I was making. :)
keith and truthseeker dont share that view
'Unfortunately, those doctors who do abortions, are subject to terrorism.

No, those people are simply tried for murder and executed. Perhaps we could drag their carcases out into the street and spit on them for a while. Otherwise I don't see how further legistlature could be used to punish them further.
I know herzog, but just had to get the dig in about the patriot , those people who kill doctors are punished to full extent of th law
he just had too,
Oh they do, do they?
Well hush my mouth!
Looks as though thatis one terror campaign that met its objective.
I just read the article... it was in Texas, shocker. There are a lot of questionable drugs on the market... now will pharmacies pick and choose what they want to disburse, based on their conscience, not what a doctor has ordered for their patient? Have these pharmacies also discontinued fertility drugs, Viagra, condoms or any other forms of birth-control?

If you believe the pharmacy was justified in it's decision... do you also believe that the FDA should be able to publicly list the names of pharmacies who do not carry, or disburse, meds that have been approved by their organization?

Just think, this opens up the possiblity of the Islamic grocery clerk refusing to ring up pork items at the check out counter, and the Christian Scientist who works in an emergency room the right to refuse to give blood transfusions, and the Mormon convenience store clerks the right not to have to sell cigarettes or alchohol products to customers. Get the picture?
Grap: no doubt if a muslim were to refuse to do any of those things based on religious beliefs the ACLU would be right there to defend him.
very bad, I know I won't even walk into a CVS!!
