Then, they should have chosen a career which doesn't conflict with their superstition-driven opinions, like short-order cook. A doctor's religious viewpoints should not give them the right to deny medical services to people.
Quote:In this example, the liberties of the person seeking abortion drugs have not been denied. They are free to buy their drugs elsewhere. On the other hand, the pharmacist has been denied her liberty. The State is dictating what she must do.
"The State" has a multitude of rules every pharmacist must follow. Why should religion allow some of them to skirt these rules?
Quote:I recognize the fact that professionals with licenses take on certain obligations to serve the public good, but I do not see forcing them to violate the tenets of their religion a legitimate use of state power. What's the next step, telling observant Jewish pharmacists that they must stay open on Saturday just in case a 13-year old wants to by Plan-B?
"The State" makes no rules regarding mandatory hours a business must be open. Bad comparison.
Quote:In other word, Pro-Abortion groups are imposing their beliefs on people trying to live according to the dictates of their religion. Not the other way around.
Lies and horse shit. Religion-driven lawmakers are using loopholes and altering laws outright with the goal of closing abortion clinics in several states, such as Texas, VIrginia and Alabama. These are instances of clinics run by people who are okay with the idea of abortion, yet are being refused the opportunity to perform them because of the primitive beliefs of lawmakers. Unlike the nebulous idea of 'preserving religious freedom', these Christian dickshitters are putting the lives and health of women at risk, in addition to all the other accessory problems resulting from forcing a person to deliver and raise a child they do not want or cannot care for. So, women unfortunate enough to live in these pisspot theocracies are faced with traveling hundreds of miles and spending thousands of extra dollars, which is simply not an option for many women, especially when they are poor or otherwise disadvantaged.
And you have the gall to piss your panties about 'forcing' people to perform their job ethically. A typical Christian playing the victim.
