I dont feel anyone has the right to push their religious beliefs on me. Why should I have to go to another store to get a prescription filled, because the pharmasist "objects"? You have moral objections, get a new job.

you're right.. and you think that that is ok? that is just the tip of the iceberg.. what if everyone who never objected before began to do so? too many conflicting ideals would be allowed to spill over into the market and distract from things just getting done... that is why I think its wrong..
If you can't do the job.. you don't get the job....
obviously you feel differently.. very liberal of you though.. I'm jealous

You also have the right not to shop at that Pharmacy - go somewhere else

(ever go to a store that was out of your desired product? - did you go somewhere else?)

A store being out of a product is different than being told by a pharmacist, that has the medicine and ability to fill my legal perscription wont do so because he "feels' or "believes" it is immoral. I have yet to go to a store that will stock the item but not they sell it because they feel it is immoral. And why should I have to go to another store, thats why the pharmacy is there, to be used.

WHAT??!?! a store not having a product is different than a store having it but a sales clerk telling me he won't sell it to me.. and that I should come back in an hour when someone who will sell it will be on the clock...

I'm not asking for a perfect world.. I'm asking for people to think about more than themselves for once... if you have strict religious beliefs.. that is your prerogative.. but forcing a business or industry to cater to YOUR personal beliefs in respect to the general public and your job duties to them... is absurd.. you should find a new job...

Pharms who can't prescribe contraception have no business being pharms. Period.
We aren't talking about birth control pills. We're talking about the day after bill because someone's dumb a$$ didn't use protection. We're also talking about drugs to help someone die. Big difference.

And the PUBLIC schools that have to provide a pork-free menu for a few kids? And PUBLIC airports having to provide sinks for Muslims to wash their feet in?? Is this the kind of forcing / catering to someone's personal beliefs that you are referring to??

It is a persons right to those medications if they are legal, others shouldnt have the right to dictate what they do. And does those dumbass people also refer to my friend that was raped and requested the morning after pill?

condoms break... pills don't work sometimes... accidents happen....
every situation is not black and white... and shouldn't be treated as such by the government and certainly NOT by some jackass at the pharmacy..
