I find it appauling that a professional would have the unmitigated gaul to tell me that they have a moral objection to BCPs or RU486 or ANY other drug that a physician, one who <b>knows</b> the circumstances, has prescribed.
I should not have to defend my need for the drug simply because the pharmacist is too short sighted to see the reason I need the drug(s).

Agreed. The religious fanatics have now gotten out of control. Now they want to mess with out health by saying that they can't dispense BCP's or morning after pills because of nothing more than it against their "good conscience?" Bullshit. They have no reason to not fill something that a doctor ordered. Period. They read the prescription and fill it. That's their job. Not to be the moral police.
I also have no problem with doctors handing out drugs. Who else knows your diagnosis and situation better that the doctor you just saw? I can't believe that StanT would not want his doctor telling him what medicine he should or shouldn't take. Whether the doctor hands you a bottle of pills or writes a note for you to take the pharmacy, what's the difference? I see none.
