Last I checked, this pharmacist was not the government and pills are legal... Or did I land in teheran by mistake? Or in Romania before the revolution?
Yeah, too bad that lesson will fly right over the heads of people over at DU.
Can you imagine a discussion over there where half of the posters supported the pharmacist?
LOL... I am probably here for longer than you...
But what you don't accept is that people like me, moderates, pro-choice (and the vast majority of Americans are pro-choice) with some limits, anti-gay marriage but for gay civil rights are the majority...
Assuming his school offers one, sure.
Yeah, but he didn't use "force" either, so why'd you bring it up?
Show me one school that does...
Please give an example of when it is OK to suspend rights.
If by stealing, you could prevent a murder. Would you?
Some laws act solely to uphold rights. Laws against murder, rape and theft are examples. Governments could be founded upon such laws.
It isn't murder to use contraception except in the sex-deprived brains of the Roman curia...
There was a time when a landowner could claim everything from his land straight up to the cosmos. But then the Government came along and just took that stick out of his little bundle.
Government said they wanted to create something they call aviation! And that's just what they did!! ;-)
"if you do not like doing what your company is paying you to do, find a different job. from my perspective it is immoral to accept a pay check when you have not fulfilled your end of the bargain."
Most of these pharmacists have made their position known to their employer at the time of hiring, so they in fact have "fulfilled their end of the bargain". Stealing a prescription cannot be justified, however.
"LOL, a bit of hyperbole always gets the thread juices flowing."
Hyperbole? I was just talking about my weekend ;)
I did not vote for Obama!
From my lurking experience in the DU website, I'd say they would probably be divided about the issue (tehere are a few reasonable guys over there after all), but the debate would be totally uncivil, with insults and shrill calls to denounce the Republicanization of the Democratic party, or some other nonsense.
I must admit even I was surprised at the very logical approach displayed on this here thread.
Can you tell me which "civil rights" I have as a heterosexual that a homosexual does not have?
If the owner pharmacist refused, what then?
In Cuba, you can bet this recalcitrant pharmacist would have been punished and likely sent to a government clinic for "reprogramming."
Government created aviation? Thats new to me.
But in communist Romania he would have gotten a medal...
