This is why they should make the pills over the counter. Most other countries have had the pills over the counter for many years. America is really behind the times. The pill has been studied for a very long time and it is extremely safe. Then any moralist pharmacist won't have any "blood on their hands" if that is what they believe. Is this the story where the guy asks the girl at the counter if she is using the pill for birth control? I would've told him none of your goddamn business! He has a lot of nerve causing a scene at the counter when other people in line could hear. I would definately never go stores that has pharmacists that like causing scenes, so totally unprofessionl. Is there anyway to know if pharmacies hires these religous beliefs pharmacists before you hand them your prescription? I wouldn't want to get medications from that pharmacy ever. He also didn't trasfer the prescription to another pharmacy because he was the only one working. What is the point of refusing? I don't get it. She is going to get the pills anyways because he works at a pharmacy that sells it. Why isn't working and recieving a paycheck from an evil store that participates selling birth control pills against his beliefs? Makes no sense! He's just out for attention.

Why not? They sell rat poison and insecticide over the counter, too. It should be easy to get rid of all those pesky vermin.

Maybe so...but...using that logic, Rosa Parks should have just shut up and walked, instead of taking the 'evil' bus...? Was she just out for attention?

Thanks. The responses in this thread get my blood boiling. There are many BC methods that are just as effective as the pill, and it's a lot easier to take a condom than to take the pill at the same time, EVERYday (which is the only context in which it will be effective). There's no conspiracy to cover up the side effects here.

I believe that if you have to take it for medical reasons you're already predestined for cancer. My grandmother had cancer. My mother and her sisters took the pill for medical reasons, and they got the same cancer at the same time my grandma did.
