[QUOTE=Bryan Ekers] Then open your own pharmacy and get rich. [/QUOTE] Yep. If you don’t sell them someone else will be more than happy to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit. ---

[QUOTE=Rael] True, not particularly. It’s not something thats going to cause a health problem if it takes awhile longer to obtain. It’s contraceptive for gods sake not heart medication. [/QUOTE] In other words, you are another one of those scum that looks upon women as cattle. [QUOTE=Rael] Yep. If you don’t sell them someone else will be more than happy to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit. [/QUOTE] Or, not. In the real world, ideology and religion are at least as powerful as the profit motive. ---

[QUOTE=Der Trihs] In other words, you are another one of those scum that looks upon women as cattle. Or, not. In the real world, ideology and religion are at least as powerful as the profit motive. [/QUOTE] Think what you will. It will probably take less time to go to a different pharmacy than it took to screw in the first place. (Not that there is anything wrong with screwing.) I never said they should not get their drugs. They WILL continue to be able to get them despite a handful of pharmacies doing this. And the owners of the establishments that do (whom I will wager you also consider scum) will suffer a economic loss. ---

I never said they should not get their drugs. They WILL continue to be able to get them despite a handful of pharmacies doing this. [/quote] And if more and more pharmacies follow ? And if the woman in question doesn’t have the money or time to get to that other pharmacy ? You of course don’t care because you are a monster. But I do care. [QUOTE=Rael] And the owners of the establishments that do (whom I will wager you also consider scum) will suffer a economic loss. [/QUOTE] You assume that they care. You assume that will affect anything. ---

A lot of Americans live in small towns and in the country. These simple choices you talk of are not always that easy. Like the argument on ID. Not hard for a car driving young city living person. But there are others who do not have easy access. ---

In fairness, country folk need less medicine anyway, what with all that clean livin’. ---
