On the latest issue of Pharmacists with a Conscience

[weaktwos]

What's all this bull I'm hearing about a growing number of "pro-life" pharmacists not dispensing birth control due to their beliefs?

Yet another indication that religion is spinning out of control in this country.

If you want to become a public defense lawyer, and yet you despise the notion of defending someone who might be guilty, you best not become a defense attorney.

If you want to become a plumber, but you hate being knee deep in disgusting refuse, you best not become a plumber.

If you are a fast food employee, but you hate making fast food, you shouldn't be in that job.

Plain and simple. The job you do will invariably come into conflict with your personal beliefs in some fashion. And if you find that objectionable, you need to find employment elsewhere.

A pharmacist's job is not to place judgment on the drugs being dispensed. The doctor takes care of that. You fill the order, and you dispense it.

I don't understand why this has to be so complicated, except you've got people who went into the wrong job.

it isn't complicated actually. the simple problem is religion is afforded extra special protection, meaning it can supercede other rules of the workplace or anywhere else. hence you can even use such places as venues to push your religion as it is a "right" you have that is then protected against.
