“You have a good point about the store owner being free to hire another Pharmacist, but he is still volunteering to provide a government regulated product under license from the gov’t. If the Gov’t didn’t restrict drugs, and allowed them to be sold like food, I would actually agree with you.”

Practically everything is regulated by govt. The baby crib, the toothpaste imported from China, the irradiated lettuce. What you’re doing is introducing a loophole to bring on even more govt involvement that would affect every single store.

Forget about abortion for now. If that pharmacist refused to sell some other pill like an aspirin, is that really a concern of govt? Just go to another pharmacy or complain to the owner!

I don’t oppose contraceptives, not at all.

I oppose the pill, which is in fact an abortifacient.

I believe that anything that kills an implanted embryo is an abortionm and I am pro-life.

If you’re going to use a rhetorical arguments, you have to have something that makes sense. I can’t even imagine a scenario like the one your postulate, so if you hope to win this debate with anyone, find something else (I’m just trying to be helpful).
If you think a baby (fetus of course is the term used to dehumanize) is simply a burden (much like a parasite) there’s nothing I can say that will dissuade you. If you think single teens who have babies are saints, I have to wonder what your definition of saint is (since you’re not using the church’s definition, I think we can both agree!)
Lastly, dogs. Well, I happen to be heavily involved in dogs (not german shepherds, altho we had one when I was growing up, and yes, she was a great family member). I have trained, I have raised, and I understand that dogs can even seem like people. But, I know the difference. BTW they are NOT totally selfless. They just see us as their boss and their nature is to please us because that’s what their instincts tell them to do. Dogs are dogs, no matter how much we love them. What you call a fetus is a person.

lol, if bitterly so

We are more than the product of our environment and upbringing.

You were arguing on behalf of killing the innocent and helpless. I merely recommended the same debating strategy to you.

Now, be about your business.

Those who wish death on others cannot relate to their intended victims. Even when you describe them being in exactly the same situation as their intended victims, they can’t see any similarities. They fully expect to be exempt from their own policies, and can see no contradiction in that. It’s pointless to try to explain it to them. They’re incapable of understanding.

[muawiyah]

Well, that’s true of course. They’re in predator mode (eating babies and the elderly) and simply cannot get back into human mode.

[aNYCguy]

ok but you can’t force someone to push a pill that would kill a baby

I agree. He took the job as pharmacist voluntarily.

It works in exactly the same way as any other contraceptive, that is: "primarily by stopping the release of an egg from the ovary (ovulation). It may prevent the union of sperm and egg (fertilization). If fertilization does occur, Plan B may prevent a fertilized egg from attaching to the womb (implantation)."

Can you see how Plan B is not *exactly* the same?
