How would a pharmicist know whether or not the prescription is needed for medical reasons? Sure, certainly maybe alot of them are strictly for birth control...but I know of examples when a girl needs these pills to help "shut down" or "regulate" her plumbing for medical reasons. Doesnt seem so easy as simply denying someone a prescription...

Prescriptions are all for medical reasons, at least they better be.

"Should a pharmacist's moral views trump a woman's reproductive rights?"

She can just take her 'reproductive rights' to another pharmacy.

A lot of women take the pill for non-contraceptive reasons.

That said, who is some sawed-off little runt of a pharmacist to say what I should and should not be able to do with my life. If it's legal, and they sell it at his pharmacy, then he should hand it over and STFU. I don't like it when the government interferes with how I choose to live my life, and I'll be damned if I'm going to let Wal-Mart.

Reasoning with Fanaticism is fruitless.

"Should a pharmacist's moral views trump a woman's reproductive rights?" How very asinine of the leftist freaks ... and how very typical of the secular humanists. Since the pharmacy in question is only one place of many where the script could be filled, the entire issue becomes transparent as creating an issue around which to discredit moral beliefs and the rights of conservative citizens to not take part in the society's wrongs.

There is NO reason to use birth control pills for medical reasons. Women survived thousands of years just fine without the pill to "regulate" menstruation. That is right up there with such famous lines as "I promise I won't get you pregnant".

Anyway, why must anyone be forced to sell something to someone else? Isn't that fascism?

Is this just another Liberal sham for any negative publicity for their murderous death cult agenda.

That said it seems as so to me.

On the other hand we have way to many drugs dispensed by a pharmacy that should be sold over counter.

Oops here comes the AMA after me, gotta run and plead ignorance.

You vill do as you are told. The Fehurer orders it. We will bring Judge Greer in here from Florida, he is one of us!

Pharmacists who can't give out pills they don't agree with need to get out of the profession of pharmacy. It's simply not their job.

I wish this thread would die like the hundreds of babies that died when I took BCP for 14+ years at the request of my (now) born-again, formerly cheating, ex-husband.

No one "needs" this- even for health reasons. I have severe endometriosis and doctors have been trying to 'treat' it for years with birth control bills. These pills change your healthy body to make it unhealthy and unable to concieve a child- a side effect is that it suppresses out-of-control hormones like with endometriosis. I didn't want the unhealthy part so I chose other treatments- and likewise I didn't give money to companies that sell these abortives (birth control pills are abortive) and an industry that thrives on sexual immorality and has no standard.

By the way, I'm a single 24 year old protestant woman--before you make assumptions that I am old and ultra-conservative.

Pharmacists don't deny the drug because of sex- but because it's abortifacient. Who cares whether it's for health reasons!?!? You can't make someone be an accessory to murder.

[Old Professer]

Do they still sell corks in drugstores?

[Puddleglum]

It's their right not to sell whatever they don't wish to sell. They can run their business as they see fit. And if folks don't like it, they can go to a different pharmacy. Why is this so hard to figure out? What do you want to do, compel them to sell the pill with some grand benevolent new law? Maybe someone will compel you to run your business as THEY see fit.
