PedroX Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 I don't understand the question. The pharmicist denies the prescription (its not neccessary for the health or wellbeing of the mother) and thats that. peace... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmotherofpirl Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 You don't expect people today to make a decison based on morality :bugeyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Wouldn't there be other things a pharmacist might be asked to perscribe that he/she doesn't agree with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God Conquers Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Yes there are. I know at least some pharmacies do not force Catholics to distribute the morning after pill. The real moral dillemma for the Catholic pharmasist is with the Birth Control Pill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 What do you think the pharmacist should do? Find another job, that's what! If they won't let him keep his job just for doing the right thing, then that's probably the way it'll be the same case at all pharmacies. Or, if he was Catholic, he could contact the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickRitaMichael Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 If a doctor can refuse to perform an abortion on moral grounds, why can't the pharmacist do the same? It's not like she couldn't go somewhere else or even ask for another pharmacist for help. I can understand that she'd be angry, but isn't that forcing her moral beliefs on the pharmacist to demand that he give her a prescription which could possibly abort a conceived child? That's so messed up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Huether Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Did anyone note how ironic it was that one of the "protesters" had a sign that said, "what if it was your daughter". She should read her own sign. What if the BABY was her own child. Sheesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmotherofpirl Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Isn't it a shame the pharmacist has higher morals than the docter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
