    Pharmacist refuses to fill medication for miscarriage

    This one is going to be tricky. We've already decided that doctors cannot be forced to perform abortions and even a wink and a nod saying that tax money shouldn't go to abortion providers.

    I can certainly understand religious people thinking that abortion is evil. Even some of our pro-abortion members are a little bit creeped out by it and might even admit that late-term abortions that have nothing to do with the mother's life should be banned.

    The pharmacist here, in my opinion, is trying to get attention. I say let somebody else fill the prescription.

        What if there isn't another pharmacist at that location that will fill it?

        Also, it sounds like this was medication to enduce a miscarriage on a fetus that had already died through natural means

          Miscarrage? Are you kidding? He should lose his pharmacy licence.

            This is a simple fix. Let another pharmacist handle it. If there is not another pharmacist at the location then the pharmacist who refused can arrange with another pharmacist to do it. This should not be a problem and there were other pharmacists there that should have filled it for her, anyway

              Losing his license would be a miscarriage of justice but he needs to make arrangements on these kinds of cases for other pharmacists. That is what I would tell him.

              This is what can happen when we get religion, politics and everything else entwined with normal business life. 

              Tell the pharmacist to go paint some signs and go protest while he looks for another profession.

                        Key Dates

                        MARCH 1933
                        SA REIGN OF TERROR AGAINST JEWS THROUGHOUT GERMANY

                        The SA (Storm Troopers) attack Jewish-owned department stores in German cities in an attempt to segregate Jews from the rest of society. Local police, not yet under Nazi control, unsuccessfully attempt to stop the attacks. Members of the SA continue the rampage and enter courtrooms, dragging Jewish lawyers and judges into the streets where they are subjected to humiliating public acts. These attacks are publicized by international Jewish organizations and the press, which urge a boycott of German goods. In response, the Nazis organize a nationwide boycott of Jewish businesses in Germany, blaming Jews for anti-German tone of the international press.

                        APRIL 1, 1933
                        NATIONWIDE BOYCOTT OF JEWISH-OWNED BUSINESSES

                        At 10:00 a.m., SA and SS members stand in front of Jewish-owned businesses throughout Germany to inform the public that the proprietors of these establishments are Jewish. The word "Jude," German for "Jew," is often smeared on store display windows, with a Star of David painted in yellow and black across the doors. Anti-Jewish signs accompany these slogans. In some towns, the SA marches through the streets singing anti-Jewish slogans and party songs. In other towns, violence accompanies the boycott; in Kiel, a Jewish lawyer is killed. The official boycott ends at midnight.

                        APRIL 7, 1933
                        LAW DISMISSES JEWS FROM CIVIL SERVICE

                        The Nazi government enacts the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service. This law seeks to exclude those considered to be opponents of the Nazi state—Jews and political opponents. As a result, civil service employees are forced to prove their "Aryan" descent by documenting the religion of their parents and grandparents. If unable to do so, they are dismissed from service. Hitler reluctantly concedes to President Paul von Hindenburg's demand to exempt from dismissal those civil servants who are veterans of World War I or whose close relatives had fallen in that conflict. Similar laws passed in the following weeks affect Jewish lawyers and doctors.

                            u mean like kim davis should have allowed one of her deputy magistrates dole out the liscenses? anyway, pharmacies usually dont have multiple pharmacists on duty at the same time. and newsflash dead fetus's could seriously damage women so there is a time factor here. there are places in this country where there is one pharmacist within 50-100 sq miles or more. 

                            thos is just one of those professions thays not for religious folk.

                              The problem Kim Davis had was her name was signed to the marriage certificates to gay couples and even if another clerk handled the case her name would still be on it. They took her name off the license and it was a simple fix. Also Kim Davis went to jail for not following the law and when are the leaders of sanctuary cities going to go to jail  for not following the law?

                                One difference is that Walgreens has a national chain and apparently has no problem selling the birth control pill. The pharmacist is merely an employee so I figure if he can't see his way clear to providing that pill time to look for some place that will support him. Same with the woman in Kentucky. The bakers were sole Proprietors.

                                  The baker's could have sidestepped the situation, maybe, by saying sure we will make the cake hope you like it, but no we're not putting two homosexuals on top. You'll have to do that when you get home.

                                      Pharmacist refuses to fill medication for miscarriage

                                      Shared from my Google feed

                                      This one is going to be tricky. We've already decided that doctors cannot be forced to perform abortions and even a wink and a nod saying that tax money shouldn't go to abortion providers.

                                      I can certainly understand religious people thinking that abortion is evil. Even some of our pro-abortion members are a little bit creeped out by it and might even admit that late-term abortions that have nothing to do with the mother's life should be banned.

                                      The pharmacist here, in my opinion, is trying to get attention. I say let somebody else fill the prescription.

                                        Miscarrage? Are you kidding? He should lose his pharmacy licence.

                                        No he shouldn't.  It's there policy that they do not have to fill a prescription.  He does have to arrange for some other store to take care of it, which he did.
