"But shouldn't that be determined by the pharmacy not the governor? If Wal-Mart wants to carry them, but they allow their pharmacists to defer on prescribing them, shouldn't that be Wal-Mart's choice, not someone in Springfield?"

If Walmart allowed certain employees to refuse to dispense birth control, what other accomodations would they then have to make for all the other employees who want to be able to force their religious beliefs on customers? Where does it stop?

The order was created to protect employers from employees who think they should be allowed to dictate the terms of their own employment.

Around here Walmart allows folks to wear religious headgear on the job. They also allow Moslems to pray on the job, and Christians can do that too. I'm not sure that your challenge is relevant to Walmart. You might call them up and find out.

By the way, the word is not "force" in that "force their religious beliefs". As you undoubtedly know you really can't "force" a belief of any kind on anybody. On the other hand, you can "foist" a false religion or religious belief of on folks.

I think that's what you are getting at, the "false religion" thing? Right?

You'll have to demonstrate the falsity of the religion or the belief in order for us to know if it is being "foisted".
