A good time to see if freedom-lovers will, for once, tell Big Stupid Government to blow it out its a$$.

Trying again, for a list of evil doctors who refuse to do abortions and must have their licenses removed by you:

I'll bet they are leaving out a vital fact. This sounds like it is about RU486 to me. I would highly question if that is birth control in the minds of many moral people. It more in line with Abortion. If anyone has the means to further research what appears to be a biased and misleading article without the facts then that would be helpful.

[Revel]

"article says "birth control prescriptions" that would lead me to believe it just the run of the mill "pill""

We can't make such assumptions. Remember the MSM is very crafty in how they title there arguments. They are hoping that people will think exacty what you think.

[marsh_of_mists]

I see no mention of RU-486. I'm under the impression that these are typical birth control pills. Pills that induce abortions should be illegal.

[marsh_of_mists]

I never said doctors should be forced to perform abortions. See post 92.

"Then let them engage in civil disobedience, but by doing so they have to accept the legal consequences, that's the idea of civil disobedience."

And will you consider the 'legal consequences' an "injustice" as you did in the Schiavo case?

[BJungNan]

Who do these judges think they are?

[AlguyA]

"Pills that induce abortions should be illegal."

You do realize ALL birth control pills run the risk, however slight, of inducing an abortion, don't you?

[BJungNan]

I think pharmacists should be obligated to fill prescriptions given by licensed doctors.

I think the pharmacists has a little more say over the filling of prescriptions than just blindly filling a doctor's orders. I could be wrong in this, but I think they are there to do more than just count pills.

[Revel]

"Some pharmacists across the country are refusing to fill prescriptions for birth control and morning-after pills, saying that dispensing the medications violates their personal moral or religious beliefs."

Still looking for more. The MSM is obviously trying to water down Ru-486 by mixing with birth control.

[Archon of the East]

Just food for thought but would it make a difference if the birth control mechanism was to potentially abort a fertilized egg versus prevention of fertilization?

Military does not keep conscientious objectors, but kicks them out (and/or punishes more severely in wartime). Why should excessively conscientious pharmacists receive more gentle treatment?

[Revel]

Kind find much about Chicago specificaly, but this is happening all over the country. And it is usually tied to RU-486.

Jail the Catholic pharmacists who will not dispense RU-486? Imprison the Catholic physicians who will not perform abortions or kill (euthanize) the ill and the defenseless? Forbid Catholics from being pharmacists or physicians?

[traderrob6]

You are employed by the government in the military, a pharamcist is not. Besides having an objection to suppying one class of drugs out of 100,000s hardly precludes him from doing his job as being a conscientious objector in the military would do

[GSlob]

Pull their licenses, i.e. expel them from the profession. If you prefer the word "forbid", that's also OK.

[Revel]

OK got it! From the evil ones web site:

"It's happened in Texas. It's happened in Wisconsin. It's happened in Illinois.

Another pharmacist has refused to fill a prescription for emergency contraception - this time in downtown Chicago. On Tuesday, March 22, Planned Parenthood/Chicago Area and nearly 100 supporters held a visibility event in front of a downtown Chicago pharmacy where a pharmacist has recently refused to fill prescriptions for birth control. "

For anyone who does not know it. Emergency contraception is either RU-486 or something called "Plan B". Which I assume is the same basic thing. Beware of MSM deception.

[GenXFreedomFighter]

Let them. I'd choose another pharmacist.
