I agree with Lurkette on this one. I mean, I would find it incredibly hard to love and cherish a child who was the product of a rape. A daily reminder of terrible things that have happened to me? GREAT!
Also, I think pharmacists these days are on absolute power trips. They are NOT doctors, they have NOT completed their medical school - just because they deal with drugs, their effects, and anatomy, does NOT mean that they have the professional knowledge of diagnosing someone. Sure, they may have 20 years of experience and pretty much be able to figure out the problem, but its NOT formal training that a doctor has. If a pharmacist has a problem with a prescription, they can phone the doctor who prescribed it and have a discussion with them on the merits, rather than flat out refusing.
I know as of recent I've had some problems with my own personal pharmasist. I'm on a method of birth control he feels that is 'STUPID' for someone my age to be on. However, my doctor and I have decided this is the best course of action for me. Last time I went to the pharmacist, he decided to ask me a round of incredibly embarassing questions on my sexual history, in earshot of many other customers. I refused to answer his questions, and booked it the hell out of there. I came back later with my Mother (who is a nurse) and she gave him a tounge lashing. What ever happened to patient confidentiality? Things such as sexual history never have to come between you and your pharmacist.
Now, to tie that in - I believe that the pharmacist should have never even KNOWN that the woman was taking it because she was raped. This is information he doesn't need to know. Being someone in the medical profession, he should have known that his moral values SHOULD NEVER play a part in doing his job.
UGH! I could go on forever about how much I hate [certain] pharmacists .. but this was just a long winded way of saying what everyone else probably did .. :\
