1. courtesy of those damned "conscience clauses". but, the "pharmacist" didn't even use

the conscience clause, it was just "I don't think you need this, so not giving it to you".

this person needs to be fired. any pharmacist who decides to only serve some of the clients needs to be fired. any pharmacist who decides that his/her religious beliefs trump actual medicine needs to find another job, preferably one where contact with others who do not share those beliefs is limited or non-existent.

2. I'd like to know

why this pharmacist wasn't arrested for playing doctor????

3. I think practicing medicine without a license is a felony...

... and this sanctimonious sow was doing just exactly that. Bullshit religious "beliefs" should never, EVER take precedence over medical practice. This seething furnace of malice didn't even bother to consult the physician who wrote the prescription; she just substituted her "judgement" for the doctor's. Time to update your resume, bitch!


And how DARE you call yourself a "Christian!" You and your ilk defile every principle of true Christianity. And if you're going to go all Old Testament on someone's ass, you don't get to cherry-pick your favorite verses from Leviticus; you gotta observe ALL of that simple-minded idiocy!

Goddammit, I hate people like that!

4. "Christian version of Sharia" -- we need a word for that, like maybe "Chriria"

perhaps pronounced Cry REE uh.

(David Packman mentioned near the end, about how state legislatures are passing "Christian version of Sharia" laws like the so-called conscience laws).

Anyway, I'm just amazed that we don't have a word for a Christian version of Sharia, because that's what we're getting more and more of. I googled Chriria but no relevant hits...

I googled "Christian Sharia" though, got lots of good hits.

"Christian Wahhabist" - LOL (one of the search results).

5. Packman's sez - if she is truly conscientious, why does she work for an employer that sells drugs

that she finds so unconscionable? Why doesn't she quit working in that den of iniquity? Rather than taking it out on the poor retail customer?

Great point!
