Next time you go to your pharmacist for something. Ask them if they'd sell you birth control pills. See what happens. If they state that they refuse based on their religious right, please… tell me where the store is.

Ill get them fired, then laugh at them.

From the article.

"Who should decide what religious doctrines you obey? You or your pharmacist. In a move that troubles many civil liberties advocates, some pharmacists across the nation are refusing to fill certain prescriptions, claiming a First Amendment right to the free exercise of religion."

"Media reports, including a recent article from The Washington Post, note an increasing number of pharmacists who refuse to fill birth control prescriptions citing religious qualms for doing so. It is a troubling trend. And one that is being fueled by fundamentalists who believe their free exercise of religion is absolute even if it affects other people who don't share their views."

"According to a study by the American Bar Association, exemption laws for pharmacists and other medical professionals have resulted in several troubling incidents. Cancer patients, pregnant patients, patients near death and rape victims have all been harmed by such practices."

"Some observers say the statute would allow a fundamentalist nurse who believes AIDS is God's punishment for gays to refuse treatment for AIDS patients."

Amazing that these people breathe my air.

If someone refused to give medicine to my friend who has cancer because it is "god's punishment for ... bla bla" I'd choke them right on the spot saying I'm a an angel and came for their soul.
