This is similar to the story of the Pharmacist who refused to provide birth control, as she was Catholic. Or the waiter who refused to serve alcohol in the resturant because he was Baptist.

If you accept money to provide a service; you are selling your service - not your values. If you feel uncomfortable doing this, then perhaps a different field is in order. If you work as a waiter, but refuse to work weekends; you either work at a Chic-a-filet or find a resturant that will accomodat your needs. To demand that others change to accomodate YOUR religion is out of line; especially in a service industry. That's my opinion.

It's actually not similar to the pharmacist who objected to refused to fill prescriptions that ended life, in her mind. The point of medicine is to heal, and forcing people to participate in things that actually cause harm, such as RU 486, or in Oregon, filling Doctor assisted suicide orders, is wrong.

I understood that it was against the law to refuse a fair. If not, then why can't the cabbies choose who they offer their service to?
