Good Old Neon Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 This country is losing its collective fucking mind.... Va. pharmacy follows faith, no birth control sales By MATTHEW BARAKAT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JUDE Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Imagine that. We have a Christian bookstore in town that only sells Christian books and the St. Cloud Diocese requires that you be a Catholic if you want to work for them. What is the world coming too?

bobbob1313 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Is it the only pharmacy in town? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
austrya Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 If you don't like it, don't shop there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doug C Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I don't have a problem with it. A private business can do whatever the hell it wants. I think that it is a stupid business decision. You aren't going to see CVS, Walgreens, etc. doing it and they'd fire any pharmacist that refused to do the job they wee hired to do. A small pharmacy can possibly get away with it but the idea that a chainreaction will occur is laughable. For-profit businesses are just that. Even if a neighborhood is inundated with these type of pharmacies, a 'full-service' pharmacy will move in to pick up the business. The only possible problem I see is in a small town without a chain pharmacy where the majority of the residents are of a likemind - crazy! ha ha. I could see the non-crazy segment of the population not being served but I'd be willing to bet that in a case like that a Soros-esque person/people would open a competitive pharmacy even if it lost money. Boycott it? Sure. I wouldn't shop there. Get all bent out of shape? No. It's a private business. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jenbobblehead Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Hey, all the power to them. I'd rather have the Mercy Day Pharmacy or whatever it is called doing "god's work" than have my pharmacy (CVS or Rite Aid) deny my birth control because the pharmacist on duty has an issue with it. PS. this is in our county. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
austrya Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 What does kind of annoy me is that sometimes women take birth control pills for reasons other than to prevent pregnancy. So that is alienating those women. But then again, I'd just go to a different pharmacy. What do you think of NFP only physicians? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jenbobblehead Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I wonder if that pharmacy fills other prescriptions like for fertility, and virility, baldness, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JUDE Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 This would actually be a story if it were a VA (Veterans Administration) pharmacy that refused to sell a certain drug based upon personal religious and moral beliefs and not some small privately owned pharmacy in a strip mall in VA. Thanks for playing though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
