"Your comment is a misogynist's slur."

You need to take that up with MonaMars. According to post #152, MonaMars is amazed "to no end how many people out there think that every woman who takes birth control pills is taking them just so she can go f*#@ the football team."

Funny. You know "zilch, zip, zero". MonaMars is amazed to no end.

Me? I simply commented on it. So get off my case.

If he had a moral right not to fill the prescription, then why can't I say, "Not to amp up the rhetoric, but the same could be said about the 9/11 hijackers. Or eco-terrorists... blah, blah, blah."

Why are you so quick to jump on other posters for holding essentially the same views?

I am not defending abortion or stating a position. I am simply offering food for thought. Does the Bible consider abortion to be murder?

Exodus 21:22

22   If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.

Is birth control murder to you?

Well, understand that a religion-based value system (and this is what this opposition to contraception AND to abortion is) is also not to be imposed in a country without an established religion...

My opposition to abortion has zero to do with a religion based value system. Nothing at all.

Trying to impose your values on others by force

...is the basis of all law and government.

I thought the basis of government was the protection of rights. That Jefferson, what a silly goose he was.

The protection of rights is a value judgment.

It has been concluded and agreed to that the pharmacist was within his rights to not fill the prescription as his employer has a policy that allows pharmacists to not fill prescriptions they have a moral obligation to.

The point of contention is that he refused to give her prescription back to her so she could go elsewhere to fill it. That he had no right to do.

Can you tell me which "civil rights" I have as a heterosexual that a homosexual does not have?

In some states, maybe most, you can enter into a union with another that permits you the status of "next of kin." As next of kin you can make certain decisions regarding medical treatment, hospital visitation and other stuff.

And homosexuals are not denied that right. They, like me, must join in a "union" with someone of the OPPOSITE SEX.

I still posses no "civil rights" that they do not.

"Abortion is murder."

Abortion being murder is not what seems to be evident in that passage. That passage would indicate that the author of Exodus believed that an aborted pregnancy was a tragedy and not a murder.

Inferring more from it, the person who "caused" the event was penalized. In other words the passage is not seeming to be discussing a miscarriage, rather an event caused by someone!

I am not so eloquent that I can adequately debate with all of the FReepers here. I just think that certain things are worth considering when engaging in arguments.

I personally find abortion to be a most troublesome subject, and I have long preferred to not discuss the matter. I will not post again on this thread.

""Abortion clinics are in business to kill unborn babies, pharmacies are in business to heal the sick. Two different missions, no?"

Actually, they are both in their respective businesses for the money!"

I was quoting another poster. I didn't write that. But I get your point nonetheless

Hit and run posts are for people who know in their heart that they are wrong.

I have to go anyway. I hope you aren't emotionally covering for a loved one who has murdered their own child. I hope that's not why you are "troubled" by it.

The protection of rights is a value judgment.

The protection of rights is the stated purpose of government according to our founding documents. If you consider that a value judgment your position is logically consistent.

There are those whose sex is indeterminate. Do they enjoy the same right? What about those who want to enter a union with them?

And I notice no one has responded to your posting fetal brain development.
It's easier to FEEL that it's wrong than respond to facts.

Stealing a prescription cannot be justified, however.

agreed.

It's research. I've seen other research that reaches other conclusions.

There is no clear consensus on when a fetus is a person, not even scientifically.
