Prescription medications are really not comparable to fast food and you know it.

Freedom of religion and freedom of conscience must necessarily trump both however.

(BTW, if you really think a cheeseburger with fries can do the same job as a condom, you'd best start reading the labels, eh?!)

Actually, the analogy is pretty good. Face it, you don't like being lectured to, but you don't mind lecturing to others about their own faults and shortcomings. Remove the beam from your own eye.

BTW, if these pharmacists are having crises of conscience dispensing these drugs, maybe they should work at pharmacies that do not carry them.

health issue is a health issue. Do you want some one picking which one they want to use against you? Do you want your pharmasist doing anything but giving you what the doctor ordered.

People don't get to dictate the terms of their employment. If I think cocaine is evil, I don't take a job with drug dealers. If I'm against abortion, I don't take a job with NARAL. If I'm against pornography, I don't take a job with Penthouse. And if I'm working for Good Housekeeping and they come to my desk one day and say,"Guess what? We're now doing a monthly centerfold featuring full frontal housewifes," I have two ways to display my freedom of conscience and religion: I can quit or I can refuse to do my job, in which case they have every right to fire me.

PS- I agree that fast food and birth control pills aren't the same. Not getting a cheeseburger never sent someone to the hospital while, for some women, birth control pills are all that stand btwn. them and hemorrhage.
