Stop Activist Pharmacists
So if a pharmacist can choose not to sell birth control based solely on moral grounds (in the news again, this time closer to home), what other professions can make the same kinds of choices? Is there a vegan waiter somewhere who won't serve the animal products on the menu? A pacifist police officer who refuses to carry a weapon? I don't know about you, but I'm getting a bit fed up with hearing "I'm not telling you that you can't inoculate your children, just that if you want to, you'll have to switch pediatricians because I don't believe in it?" or "I'm sorry sir, I can't let you rent that film, it contains adult situations and you aren't married." What else will 'values' bring us? Some allege that further down the slippery-slope could be a pharmacy-denial of AIDS medication, which is an idea actually SO EVIL that I'm not even going to dignify it with sarcasm.
So as result of all this idiocy, I'm calling for all sympathetic booksellers to deny bible purchases, record-store owners to curtail the profusion of American Idol compilations, and gas-station clerks to block the sale of gasoline to SUV-owners because I know there is a sizable portion of the American public who feels that these items are being used and abused by irresponsible parties, and you and I are helping facilitate these evils simply by doing our jobs. Why are we such suckers?
