If the youth chose to participate in sex and are aware of the conseqences, they should have a right to thwart said possible pregnancy/abortions.
I agree with you there. But I don't believe that right should extend to forcing others to help in preventing the pregnancies. This is especially so when that forced assistance goes against the deeply held beliefs of the doctor/pharmacist.
This isn't the usual case of the government stepping in between two willing adults. This is the government stepping *out* and not forcing someone go through with a transaction that is morally repugnant to them.
I believe I have the right to keep and bear arms. But that doesn't mean I have the right to force anyone to sell me a gun, least of all a pacifist.
Oh yeah. THAT'S the ticket!
What if these youth want to do some serious drugs? Hand out the NEEDLES?????
In that case, condoms are sold over-the-counter and would not be affected by the regulations.
And I’m sure Planned Parenthood will feel no moral compunction to abide by the law. So someone unintelligent enough to go to a different pharmacy...or even ask if there is another pharm on duty would have no problem buying their security.
I suppose they could just close their legs or put up with the consequences. Wait...no...that would be the mature, responsible thing to do.
