What you do not seem to understand is that men and women of conscience cannot do things that they know to be evil, no matter what your all-powerful, all-mighty government tells them to do.

Now it was required not so long ago by National Socialist and Communist authorities that doctors must, as a condition of their licensure and as a matter of law, execute ("euthanize") the weak and the infirm. You would have insisted the doctors do this because medicine in a government regulated industry, and we must do whatever the government demands.

Well, there is such a thing as civil disobedience (if a pharmacist wanted to continue refuses to take birth control perscriptions in defiance of the goverment), but under that tradition you have to accept legal penalties imposed in you. Unless you think--and I don't think you do--that our current establishment is so corrput we should openly rebel against it.
