Pharmacy Won't Sell Contraceptives

[brightstars369]

hey idiot lady did you know that theres a lot of other medicines that they DO sell here that can kill a fetus in utero? They'd have nothing to sell if they got rid of everything that could possibly be dangerous to a pregnant lady!

[uching]

oh f#ck you all religious nut jobs, what about women like me with a medical need to use the pill to regulate my periods and stop the hemoraging, agonizing cramps, constant bleeding for weeks on end, violent mood swings, the anemia and iron loss due to server blood loss that ended up putting me in hospital when i was 14, what would this self rightious c**t tell me, i don't use it for contraception even though thats an added benefit, what happens to women like me at places like this, what happens.

[juliewashere88]

Let's just let pharmacies decide what kind of medication other people should be allowed to have.

If you're unwilling to do your job as a pharmacist, then get a new job!

[tatatot16]

you would think that pharmacists of all people would know that birth control has more than one use. it can be used for more than just preventing getting pregnant. i use it to control my "special time of the month". it has nothing to do with preventing a pregnancy. is that against morals? to want to be a normal female?

[unashamedevangelist]

Dark agent, why did you take God's Name in vain for?

[Synopsism]

Irene Starrs, you dumb stupid cretin.

I restate what I said, she said "there are medicines that can kill a baby in the womb". That doesn't address contraception does it? Cyanide can kill the baby in the womb, granted its not sold in pharmacies (I don't think). Of course there's medicine that can kill your baby, you realize their called prescriptions for certain diseases right? You don't take anti-cancer drugs and call it contraception do you? Do you Irene? Choke.

[Synopsism]

Kill a baby in the womb? That dumb bitch doesn't know anything! Oral contraceptives prevent the egg from implanting in the uterine wall, did I mention a baby? NO. Condoms? Condoms kill babies? NO. No contraception kills fetuses. What a delusional bitch.

[darkagent343]

god i hate people like this.

hate the people who love people like this to.

[FHB71]

Deluded.

Not even condoms? That is not pro-life, that is definitely pro-sexually-transmitted-desea­ses!

[jclassracer]

WOMEN OF VA:

Prepare for ass sex.

[plimbuff]

The pope said, "Aids in Africa is bad but Condoms are worse."

You religious retards need to keep your unproven beliefs to YOURSELVES.

[tonypeters69]

Your god yeweh was invented by the Jews after their slavery in Babylon. They adopted the tales of the Sumerian gods. Most Jewish scholars will admit this (not the orthodox). There are hundreds of natural plants that will cause an abortion and contraception. (google it for reams of details)These were here before "civilization" existed. If you look at modern "primitive" people, like in the Amazon, they know every plant and their uses. Why did your god put all of these plants here? LOL

[retrogradepink]

it's a problem when a woman doesn't have another place to go. and it isn't quite freedom of religion because the pharmacy is IMPOSING its beliefs on the public. also, doctors take an oath that they will protect and save lives. they can't pick and choose. of course, then there's that whole "what is a life" question, but still. religion has no place in businesses that serve the public and all their needs.

[zosky7]

agreed. 1 correction. Doctors are not the ones selling the drugs, its the pharmacists or the owner of the pharmacy. but yes i agree with you. the good news is that for for better or for worse, we live in an open capitalist society, so the way the people add their voice to it is, don't go to that pharmacy, if they loose money, they close

[retrogradepink]

oh yes, i know doctors and pharmacists have different rules, etc. someone mentioned doctors, so i just wanted to reinforce that concept that they do take an oath. i would hope that pharmacists do the same, but probably not. and yes, in this country, all we really can do is fight capitalism with capitalism.

[dees209]

i dont think it involves a pharmacy imposing its beliefs. they can politely refrain from selling these things without forcing anyone to beleive anything. a pharmacist shouldnt be forced to sell something he feels morally wrong about. and if a customer wants to, they can go somewhere else.

[NCforMcCain]

I am rather proud of pharmacies such as this one. It is their business and they can refuse to sell whatever they want regardless of the reason. If someone does not like it they can shop somewhere else. I do not think they are trying to force their beliefs on anyone else. They are simply following their beliefs which is what they should be doing.

[sharonny19]

ummm, really sorry to clue you dumbasses in on this, but painkillers, and even an overdose of cough medicine can cause a spontaneous abortion...I hope they go out of business real soon...they want all these babies but won't give them any candy either...wtf????

[hydroman242]

Just another example of other religious views being forced on everyone....

[deepvoodoo]

No, but your post is an example of someone who considers other peoples' having religious views as "forcing [them] on everyone." Are you required to go to this pharmacy? No. Can you get them somewhere else? Yes.

No, they aren't forcing their beliefs on anyone. You may not agree with them, but I have a simple solution:

DON'T SHOP THERE!!!

[2xtreem4u]

if it's the only one in town and the other one miles away is like the one in town ?

[deepvoodoo]

Oh you're right. After all, that means people might have to either drive miles away or not have sex. That would be horrible. The world would come to an end.

[deepvoodoo]

Wow. Um, this "religious extremism" is legal because of the first amendment. Y'know, freedom of religion. Secondly, how is it "discrimination?" Is it discrimination against me that they don't sell candy even though I want candy?

Wow. Just... wow.

[jstutz2003]

I prefer to debate this topic further before making any decisions, but I tend to be on your side that they shouldn't have to sell it.

In some ways, this is akin to a doctor refusing a patient in need of life saving surgery based on his beliefs. Sure there are probably other doctors around who will be able to do it, but what if there aren't.

Worst care here, a woman can't get to a pharmacy that sells "Plan B" and they get pregnant. Then these morons want to tell her she can't abort.

[rich0319726]

Well, I'm not saying i agree with this. I actually tend to support Pro choice. However, I'm not a woman and it doesn't really apply to me. I believe the pharmacy is a private business as far as I know, and they can choose what products to offer for sale.

[DelinquentFaith]

I am pro choice and I agree with you. They can choose what to sell and customers can choose to take their business somewhere else. If I owned a pharmacy near one like that I'de be happy for the extra business.

[retrogradepink]

WHY is this religious extremism legal? this makes me so angry. aren't pharmacies supposed to cater to the health of their customers, not discriminate against them? how about separation of church and state? where's that? if you're a misogynist, anti-abortionist pharmacist, perhaps you need to find a new career where you can actually DO YOUR JOB.

[cryptkeeper812]

what a bunch of whackos!!!!!!!!

[jstutz2003]

Let us be clear here. These people are not "pro-life". They are anti-abortion. Yet this practice of not using contraceptives is the worst thing for preventing abortion.

This is like saying you don't want troops to die in combat, but you don't believe in them using body armor or helmets.

[deepvoodoo]

Fair enough, but it p*sses me off when people act like their violating the rights of people who want to use birth control just because they themselves don't supply it.

[Rogermelly01]

God help us. Bet those silly wimmen change there mind when the daughter turns up pregnant at 14. The world is overpopulated allready without all these fools

[deepvoodoo]

Again, you and those "silly women" are in the same boat. Even if this pharmacy did carry BC, they're not obligated to buy it; just like people who WANT it aren't obligated to buy FROM this place.

[IcyKitty]

wow

[nadiaTeeze]

Religious clap-trap. In a wlrod of limited resources we should continue exponetial growth?? Illogical!

[wwwFamilyPrideOrg]

Its a Marketing Gimmick to Cash In on The Christians you see condoms which prevent babies means no babies no diaper sells and baby medicines which are extremely lucrative in the long term what a greedy hypocrite.
