They're claiming their pharmacists are allowed to discriminate... but only regarding this one (Plan B) medication, and only on this one basis. If they're going to claim protection under civil rights statutes, don't they have to accept all the worms that come with that particular can?

Shouldn't then an employee be allowed to refuse a customer condoms, because wasting seed is against their religious teachings? Basic birth control, even if issued for reasons other than purposes sexual (hormone pills are used for a variety of treatments, not just prevention of procreation). What about AIDS medications? If you believe that it's a punishment from God for sinful ways, you should be allowed to tell them to go somewhere else for their meds, no?

As I said. Can open. Worms everywhere. Me doing all my shopping elsewhere.

I still have the legally-granted right and ability to discriminate against small-minded bigots.


And, for those interested:

Boomer-cat just came over and took my pencil away from me. Really. He has an eraser fixation or something.
