"My client was not judging the patient," she says. "He was judging his own heart. He sincerely believes he would be committing an act of sin to dispense [birth control], and to call someone else to dispense it." She sees this as a religious liberty issue.

Others see the issue differently. "This is a situation where certain people of certain faiths seem to be fair game for discrimination, which is egregious," says Peggy Hamill, director of Pro-Life Wisconsin in Brookfield. She tells of pharmacists who refused to fill prescriptions and have had to move from one place to another. Others have taken jobs in nursing homes.

shani these two quotes to me open the door to someone saying,"Islam says that I don't have to help or assist infidels and heathens."
Or someone else saying,"He's jewish? I'm sorry, no I cannot do anything for him because well you saw what the jews did to Christ..."
One picks and chooses their battles, if they choose this path and are rewarded with only being able to get jobs at nursing homes, tough, they made their choices and have to stick by the consequences.
While I commend some people for having enough conviction for their morals and beliefs, it should not be foisted up on anyone else.
