Ping for life.

What a jerk. Will he hold back pain medication because he doesn't believe in mind-altering drugs? Or anti-depressants? Or STD medication?

Do your job, buddy, and don't go making moral judgements.

How is the pharmacist's fault about the 72 hours if he initially told her to try another pharmacy, and she (a) pulled over and cried, and (b) she came back later than night with her father? He didn't take the prescription and refuse to return it? He refused to take it and suggested a different course of action. What am I missing?

"I'm a single mother and I'm just trying to be responsible," Richards claimed. "When I realized what he was saying, I pulled the car over in the parking lot and just cried."

Responsible means you don't get into this situation in the first place. Why don't they get that?

"Do your job, buddy, and don't go making moral judgements."

Really? Why not? Why is your 'moral judgment' superior to his?

[narses]

Sinful human nature.

If she goes through with the pregnancy whe will thank this man after all. She will be mad at him until birth. She should know this too as a mother already.

[Lunatic Fringe]

I never claimed my moral judgement is superior. NOBODY should be making a moral judgement on legal prescriptions.

she had received the same prescription there before

and yet here we go...another emergency...

[narses]

So Zyklon-B for Treblinka is an order you'd fill?

[grundle]

she told the assistant that she had received the same prescription there before.

I wonder exactly how many abortions this woman has had.

[grundle]

Oops!

You already said it!

Try again with a more relevant argument.

For example, is this pharmacist filling prescriptions for Valtrex? If so, why is he not making a moral judgement on that?

[narses]

"Try again with a more relevant argument."

But you said:

"NOBODY should be making a moral judgement on legal prescriptions."

Zyklon-B was legal.

Try a better counter.

Why should employment suspend conscience?

[Lunatic Fringe]

Zyklon-B was used for PEST control.

Your analogy is ridiculous.

Having seen sufferers of genital herpes in my years as an office manager, I can tell you that it is to relieve symptoms of the disease, not to prevent the consequences.

I guess with a far stretch, one could say that murdering her embryo could be relieving the symptom of unprotected sex.

I guess....

The "pests" at Treblinka were Jews my Lunatic Fringe FRiend. Perhaps your education is faulty, perhaps you didn't know this. If that is the case, my apologies for being less than clear.

[Dominick]

Zyklon-B was used for PEST control.

It was created to kill rats, but was used for execution of innocent people.

Would you deliver weapons grade plutonium to the PRK?

Would you send "family planning" money to China?

Would you send guns to Kashmir or Sudan?

What the actual purpose of the item, and it's final use is exactly the case.

If you knew the Zyklon was used for mass murder, then delivery is an act of complicity in genocide.

I am well aware of this. Zyklon-B was legal, as you said, but used for pest control and was not dispensed by a pharmacist whose job it was to provide medical treatment. This pharmacist should have simply directed her to another pharmacy rather than stand there preaching at her about her "choice." That was completely out of line.
