  • No.

    No it's not. His license should be revoked.

    No.

    No it's not. His license should be revoked.
    I saw this on the morning news about a week ago. I was surprised to hear but they said what he did was perfectly legal that in AR, and several other states, a pharmacist has the right to refuse a prescription if they have a moral objection. That person then has the right to go to a different pharmacy.
    I was shocked and think that law is dumb.

    I wonder what would happen if someone was denied a medication by a pharmacist on moral grounds, and then the person ended up suffering disability or death as a result of not getting it? Could the pharmacist and/or pharmacy be successfully sued? :pensive:

    If the law allows for it then it would be tough to prove negligence.

    I'm talking a civil suit though. Could be possible. If I were in that situation, I'd certainly try. I think I would have a decent case, especially if I were denied at multiple pharmacies. Civil suit, or just take it right up to the Supreme Court.... although now that would likely be pointless. :frowning:

    I think I also saw that he's supposed to get another pharmacist if there is one on site.  There were two but he did not do it.

    This is going to continue under the guise of "religious liberty."  The SCOTUS is going to be tilted this way until everyone on this board is dead.

    If that's true, then she really should sue.

    One great way to reduce the number of abortions is to make birth control and education plentiful and affordable.  But a sizeable number of pro-birth folks also want to send the message that we should never have sex unless we specifically want to create life.  And they also seem to think that's a realistic outcome (even though they tend to be found fornicating with random people in random places).

    I imagine pro-lifers access abortions too, if it serves their purposes.. I.e. the righteous pro-life parents of a teenaged girl who gets knocked up, which of course will shame the family ... Quick, get in the car Sally, we're taking you to the doctor.

    I say keep it legal, how are those pro-life politicians going to get rid of those "babies" with their mistress.

    but in all seriousness, abortion should be completely legal and easily accessible to everyone.

    They just go somewhere else to fill it. It’s not like one pharmacy denies it and they bam anyone else from doing it. Would just be an inconvenience. An unnecessary one I agree.

    I imagine that does happen. But I’m guessing more common to keep it quiet, get a shotgun wedding fast or fake story is more common. I unfortunately know people and families who have done that, claimed rape when it wasn’t, kept it a secret or arranged a marriage fast then tell everyone it was a honeymoon baby that came 5 weeks early.
    And there’s also lots of people who fit that stereotype but embrace the pregnancy and do everything they can to help their daughter. I’ve seen all of them, even those who’ve admitted having an abortion later.

    And depending on the woman, how freaked she is, or nervous or whatever, especially if we're talking about very young women, one denial (and brow beating) from her local pharmacist could be enough to make her scared to try again. I think it's disgusting that it's legal for a pharmacist to deny any customer any item that's legal to sell to them. I think it is SO dangerous to allow pharmacists to apply their personal morals in their jobs at all.

    +1. The pharmacists job is to properly dispense the medications. They should have very little to say in terms of patient care, unless they see some obvious contraindication of the new script with something the patient is already taking. Otherwise, shut up and fill the request. The only time I'm looking for help from the pharmacist is to figure out the cheapest option for my meds. I certainly don't need any sort of lectures about morality from someone whose life is guided by their belief in mythology. And if that is the case, why are they in a science-based career? Go write a life coaching book if you want to tell people how they should live their lives.

    I've asked this same thing of my brother (born again baptist/bio chemical engineer). his take, one that I've heard here and elsewhere, is that science and religion are not mutually exclusive. 

    imagine if cops were allowed to not provide their service based on morality.
