"Abortion clinics are in business to kill unborn babies, pharmacies are in business to heal the sick. Two different missions, no?"
So you don't view a woman who suffers from anemia and profound exhaustion bcse of severe bleeding every month, and who winds up in the hospital several times a year due to hemmorhaging, to be a person in need of healing? Those D and C's she'll be forced to endure unless she takes birth control pills will be what, an inconvenience?
It didn't seem to matter in the last two elections and I've been spreading the word since well before then.
By the way, as long as we are offering beliefs, I believe you are a left wing nut. So there!
Precisely. But the part about him refusing to fill it is well within his rights.
Sigh. And the reality is that I can go steal my neighbor's car, too. Of course, if I do, there will be legal consequences.
No, I don't think I will.
Should read, "I can't."
"Good luck convincing anything other than a microscopic minority in this country that a single cell is a "baby.""
Only trouble with that logic is that you can extrapolate it to read "...that a two-week old foetus is a baby," "...that a foetus in the first trimester is a baby," or "that a foetus that is in the last trimester but impinges on the 'health' of the mother is a baby."

In a word? No.
Well, in all honesty, I have to say that there are a lot of people on FR that feel that way. It's an often encountered view on threads like these.
I see.
There are approximately 2 gazillion phramacists in this country who will fill the womens prescription. As the saying goes, lets try to keep it real.
So you don't believe that someone's moral rights come before someone else's legal rights?
Of course he has the right to refuse to fill the prescription. She can go elsewhere. That is her right.
Stealing the script is a different question. She should have called the police immediately while still in the store.
Certainly. However, a doctor does not have the right to steal your car to prevent you from having an abortion and a pharmacist does not have the right to steal your script to prevent you from getting your birth control pills.
Remember, your right to swing your fist ends where my nose begins.
I am NOT a Christian, toda la El... because these kind of posts show me how demented some of them are...
Trying to impose your values on others by force because you believe in one fairy tale or another is making you not much better than the Iranian mullahs... I thought we were better...
Maybe I am wrong!
Other Options:
What is wrong is asking a phamacist to assist in commiting murder.
You're a bit behind the curve. I agree that he should have given the script back, it wasn't his to keep.
Depend... If he is an employee, and the place has the pills in stock, I don't think he has this right at all...
...is the basis of all law and government.
In the medical world pecking order, physicians who perform abortions as the key or sole component of their practice are generally relegated to the lowest rung, somewhere below a gutter gate.
In the early 1990s Clinton sought to remove restrictions on abortions performed in military hospitals. I was in Korea at the time serving as a JAG. We checked with all the doctors and nurses at American military hospitals in the Far East and failed to find even one that was willing to perform or to assist with an abortion unless it was a bona fide emergency involving the health of the mother. Liberals such as Rep. Pat Schroeder were outraged that the docs wouldn't jump on the abortion bandwagon.
No maybes about it, you haven't been right about one issue since you showed up on FR. I think you're suffering from Kerry fatigue but fear not, h e may run again in '08.
