Those who dissent will be deprived of their livelihood.

Good!

You are a pharmacist, not the local preacher. Your job is to dispense medicines as prescribed by a doctor. Don't like it? Find a new line of work.

"Your job is to dispense medicines as prescribed by a doctor."

This is not a pharmacist's job.

A pharmacist always has the discretion not to dispense a drug.

Doctor's only get a fraction of the pharmacology in medical school that pharmacists get in pharmacy school and often prescribe the wrong drug or drugs which could lead to deadly interactions.

My wife is a pharmacist and has caught many errors that could have killed patients.

You wouldn't want your Viagra interacting with your heart medication would you?

Since when is a Governor's order tantamount to a Doctor's Prescription?

And you are a customer, not an enforcer of government morality.

Unless I'm a "preacher", I must ignore my conscience and perform my work in a moral vacuum?

No.

Your job is to dispense medicines as prescribed by a doctor.

Ordinarily, yes. Unless I believe the doctor has erred. In which case I won't. If I believe that the dose he's prescribed might kill you-or somebody else- then I won't fill it.

Don't like it? Find a new line of work.

Don't like my business or the service I provide? Find another one.

Baloney. He is a seller of a product. You think that by executive fiat a private enterprise should be told what they have to sell?

Wrong in two ways:
1-It's not the government's place to force you to sell anything.
2-You think it is constitutional for the executive branch to make law by signing an order?

BTW, there is nothing in the constitution that makes anything and/or everything related to health care a "right".

Get a clue here. Think slippery slope.

You are a prison guard, working at Auschwitz during WWII. Your job is to make sure the prisoners arrive on time for their final appointment. Don't like it?

Find a different argument.

"Good"

As an operating room nurse, I have had the option for years NOT to be involved in abortions. I think people have a right to act according to their conscience. If government forces people into this, what will be the next step?

What an utterly juvenile response.
