Imagine the fuss if an atheist pharmacist refused life-saving drugs to an evangelical on the grounds that perpetuating Christianity is a danger to public health …..
…not that I’m suggesting anyone should!
Just whatever you do, don’t say anything to them that they could rephrase as ‘go forth and multiply’.
They might do it and we’d picking up the cost in tax exemption for another generation.

that’s bullshit. not ALL women take birth control pills for contraceptive purposes…many women, like myself, take it because it prevents ovarian cysts [which can interfere with fertility] or because their periods are literally debilitating. to deny these women what the need…is appalling. i’d love to rail on them personally for being so retarded.

“…think it is a poor decision to turn…” away customers for these reasons,

As much as I disagree with the practice and think it is a poor decision to turn, I must say that a privately owned pharmacy should be able to turn away customers for whatever reason they see fit. No one said they had to make good decisions.

If these pharmacists and medical workers are going against their company’s policies, they should be fired. Period.

I’d like to see what these whackjobs would do if vegetarian cashiers would refuse to sell them meat, or atheist booksellers would refuse to sell them Bibles and other religious books. If they think it’s OK for them to refuse to dispense/sell certain things because they object to them then what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Let’s all start refusing to do our jobs based on our personal preferences. Of course if any of us still had jobs it’s likely little work would get done, but at least we wouldn’t have our delicate sensibilities offended.

I tell you, people really get my goat.
