This is a treat. When a pro-life Catholic stands up for his/her beliefs, they are declared hateful. When a Muslim stands up for his/her beliefs, the govt must accomodate Muslim beliefs for the sake of diversity. Perhaps the key for social conservatives to ban gay marriage and abortion in America would be help convert liberals to Islam. :)

tough
deal with it

Not the same. In order to be the same, the product being sold must cause death. If the burger flipper refused to sell me a deadly burger, I wouldn’t complain.

Last time I checked, birth control pills don't kill anyone. And that's all the morning-after pill is.

Check again.

I can easily refute the idea that a human life is more important than a dog. Even yours. But this is not a debating forum for radical leftist ideas.

The morning after pill prevents fertilization and implantation.

It doesn't kill the patient.

Do you deny this private business the right to sell a legal product?

[MrEdd]

Gov’t needs to stay out of the religion business, and so do the agents they license.

Ah so your whole position here is not that licensure is wrong, but that it should exist and be used to keep those religious people from engaging in certain professions?

Because those religious people oppress you when they refuse to do things you want them to?

Are you sure you are on the right forums? That is a major tenant of marxism, not conservatism.

Emergency contraceptive tablet. Each Plan B® tablet contains 0.75 mg of a single active steroid ingredient, levonorgestrel [18,19-Dinorpregn-4-en-20-yn-3-one-13-ethyl-17-hydroxy-, (17α)- (-)-], a totally synthetic progestogen. http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/levonorgestrel_cp.htm Levonorgestrel: A progestin. Named levonorgestrel because it is the levorotatory form of norgestrel. Used in combination with an estrogen as an oral contraceptive. http://www.rxlist.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=30735 It is identical to oral contraceptives. Believing it should be outlawed necessarily requires the belief that oral contraceptives should be outlawed.

[ari-freedom]

yes...but then it wouldn’t be a legal product anymore.

[BykrBayb]

Your refusal to see the humanity of a human being does not give you the right to kill them.

If I don’t recognize any humanity in you, it still doesn’t give me the right to kill you.

[ari-freedom]

I think that abortion should be permitted in the case where it threatens the life of the mother. But not in all other cases.

You are entirely wrong. I don't know if that's intentional or just your misfortune. But wrong you are.

There's a difference between an unimplanted fetus and a living, breathing human being.

What a woman does for contraception is none of your business.

Stoopid trolls alert. Bring hip boots.

I gave you the chemical formula and description from a reputable site. They indicate I am right, regardless of your opinion.

Let me rephrase: in your considered and educated opinion, how does Plan B differ from oral contraceptives?
