I read an article about doctors and pharmacists that are denying women prescriptions for hormonal birth control on the basis that it is “abortion”. I think this is not only rediculous, but it’s also unacceptable for doctors to impose their personal moral beliefs on their patients. It’s like refusing treatment to murderers or something.
What do you think?
I think you’ll find a recent thread on this subject in the BBQ Pit. I don’t do links (I always screw 'em up) but it’s a thread called “I am not society’s baby making machine.” Or something a lot like that, anyway.
I’m going to put this in Great Debates.
Bad idea. That’s called “cross-posting,” and is frowned upon here. Just ask a mod to move the thread for you.
Oopsies. :o
I would guess in a chainstore environment that would be against corporate policy, but if a pharmacist owned their own drugstore they could choose which medicines they’d carry, just as a doctor with ethical problems regarding abortion can choose not to perform them.

Let me close this thread for you.
