background. Wa state allows Plan B sales. A pharmacy owner said it violated his morals to sell Plan B and would not sell it.

The state AND the (un)elected Governor ordered the pharmacy to sell the pill or lose their license.

This is one for the little guy and personal rights.

Great ruling, although there is a legion of Freepers who believe Pharmacists are ethically obligated to assist in murder.

To me, the other legal precedent - that where one can say what is and isn't sold in their business - is as large.

I expect Senator Thompson won’t like this ruling.

The state cannot force an individual to cede their conscience for someone else's convenience. Period.

So you support the governor and the state forcing them to do so?

YO are either uninformed or intentionally lying -

Thompson has a 100% anti-abortion record - He has stated that he believes life begins at conception -

He ALSO says that the Federal Gov't needs to get out of the business of policing the whole country with one size fits all laws they have no Constitutional right to make...

Fred is a strict Federalist - you do know that the U.S. is not a democracy, don't you? It a Federal gov't...That means "States Rights" = that postulates that the people in any given separate state have the brains to decide for themselves what laws they want on the books...The Federal Gov't has FEW Constitutional rights over the states = like to protect us from foreign enemies , national highway system, - things we can't do for ourselves at the state level.

Do you think The bone heads in Washington are smarter than the people of your state?

You don't mind that Washington decides that you shall have a low-flush toilet (that has to be flushed twice to get the job done) even though you may live in the country, have your own well and septic and a high water table that is in an area that will never see a shortage...for just one example that has come down out of Washington...You like Big Daddy gov't taking care of you. saving you from decisions?

Hillary is your gal =

Huh?

I doubt any freeper even the pro-choice ones feel that way. If an owner of a business doesn’t want to sell distribute this drug at their private business than I think you will have a hard time finding a freeper who feels the government should force them (Well, maybe many of the liberal trolls who infest the smoking/nanny state threads but it’s hard to call them real freepers)

What I can say is in the opposite case, being that this drug is a legal product, if an owner of a pharmacy wants to sell it, the government has no right to force the owner to hire/keep employees that refuse to fill this prescription.

Can’t force their religion on us - even if that religion is atheism.

Wrong, most freepers believe that if the owner wants to sell the drugs and his employees don't then the employee needs to look for a job somewhere else.

I have not seen one of them post that it was up to the government to order a private company to do spit.

I'm either uninformed or lying about what I expect? That's about the dumbest thing I've ever read on FR. And I've seen some pretty dumb thing.
