mcgeedo, I think your grocery store analogy is poor. As Frosstbyte says, a pharmacy is a pharmacy. Not a grocery store. It should be regulated differently. Personal beliefs of the pharmacist should not be allowed to enter into it. We are not talking about a pharmacist denying the poor their medicine. We're talking about a pharmacist denying any person the choice to buy contraception. A pharmacy, is a business that cashes in on peoples' medical needs and in some cases, misfortune. I think the pharmacist is wrong to be forcing his own beliefs upon others, especially in light of the kind of business he has decided to open.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
