There is no "religious rights" stuff involved here. If the pharmacists didn't like the rules, they shouldn't have worked there in the first place.

It is interesting to see how some perpetually-offended FReepers use double standards when it comes to certain issues. By the logic used here, that catholic school that fired that out of wedlock, pregnant teacher (for breaking her contract) had no reason to do so either.

What's good for the goose and all that.....

Better don your asbestos longjohns, you're going to get flamed to a crisp by the people who think they're better Christians than Jesus...

There sure as heck is!

The rule was that they could be pharmacists and follow their conscience -- until Gov. Blagojevich declared it illegal.

By the logic used here, that catholic school that fired that out of wedlock, pregnant teacher (for breaking her contract) had no reason to do so either.

The logic is that the state shouldn't force private companies and organizations to do things against their religious beliefs.

How offensive of you. I cracked up when I read "perpetually-offended." That's perfect. God bless everybody here but there really are some people on these forums who could be described as "perpetually offended." I've noticed that for a long time but never had quite such a perfect way to describe people like that.
