This is in USA today. We need to contact Planned Parenthood and ask that they make sure any woman that runs up against this knows where she can go to get birth control. This is bulls**t

Absolutely. I do not think that a pharmacist can refuse to dispense medicine to a customer that is being requested with a legal script. The doctor proscribed it; the pharmacist needs to dispense it. Would he rather the girl be coming back for Plan B contraception after she fears she got pregnant?

This is happening. I recall hearing about an incident like this in New Hampshire a couple of months back. The right wing really does want to see us all barefoot and pregnant. ARGH!!! mad.gif mad.gif mad.gif

thats the stone age for you even if i think 'GORG' would smash my head down between the shoulderblades if i tried to behave like that in those days. At that time individual survival were serious and nobody could slack off, so anybody were duing their outmost to help everybody to survive.
True women were keept pregnant most of the time but a high infant mortality rate and low life expectantsy keept the populations under control.

By the way the pharmacist in Quiestion were fired and arrestet, and is looking at a lawsuit the last time i heard it. So ladies it is up to you to tell those pharmarsist what they can do whit does pills rolleyes.gif

They want to make sure they have plenty of soldiers to fight their ungodly wars.

I believe it's considered professional misconduct in most, if not all states.
If the trend continues...
Phone service can be legally be cut to Planned Parenthood, because the local phone service provider disagrees with what they do
Snow removal personnel can bypass clinics and pharmacies engaged in the work of the devil
Garbage haulers will leave trash from establishments they consider offensive
Medical and office supply houses will hold orders to placate high profile religious groups
Firefighters won't have to respond to calls from homes and businesses they consider at odds with their politics.
People who have jobs to do must do them or face loss of licensure or loss of their job altogether.
To accept less is anarchy.

It is professional misconduct and that was my point.

Where are personnel engaged in city services allowed to not do their jobs in reference to a business just because they disagree with what that business does. In the case of snow removal doesn't this create a danger to the general community? Where is all this happening?

It isn't happening anywhere--yet. My point is that if we ignore professional misconduct then anyone engaged in public commerce can make politcal or religious statements by refusing to do their jobs. It is inevitable we will get there shortly, if we haven't already.
so angry I could spit

There have been a few cases in which it has been reported. If it happens to you, you can report cases of it at PPFA Take Action - pharmacist refusal The actions of the pharmacists are not necessarily condoned/supported by the pharmacies for which they work and should be reported to corporate headquarters.
