Get a(nother) Job

Back to the lack of gray matter, folks. A couple of pharmacists here in good ol' Washington State are suing said state for violating their civil rights by insisting that they actually do the job they are paid to do. It seems that providing emergency contraception forces them to choose between "their livelihoods and their deeply held religious and moral beliefs." Awwww.

Catch a clue, boys. If your deeply held religious beliefs make you uncomfortable doing the job, get another job. Don't ask someone else to sacrifice for you. YOU make the sacrifice for your deeply held beliefs. Nobody held a gun to your head and said "be a pharmacist." Maybe you made a poor career choice. Happens all the time. I suggest you move on.

When did we get the "right" to essentially force personal religious beliefs on other people? Don't want to touch pork? Don't take a job at the deli. I doubt that a whole lot of Jehovah's Witnesses work for Starbucks. Come to think of it, what's a deeply moral person such as yourself doing working in a business that's screwing hardworking Americans left, right and central anyway? Seen "Sicko" yet? When Americans pay $100 for a med that costs about 20 cents in Cuba, I'd say you're pretty much working for Satan anyway.

And while we're at it, let's take a look at some of those prescriptions you fill without feeling that it violates your deeply held religious beliefs. How about Viagra? I doubt that the majority of those prescriptions are for procreation. Feel okay with promoting lots of possible fornication or adultery? What about methadone? How do you feel about giving addicts their fake heroin? The point is, it's none of your business. Check for interactions, count the pills, ring it up. If you believe that contraception is tantamount to murder, don't use it. Worry about your own soul. I'll worry about mine.
