A decent judge in Illinois...
Eviedently not all judges are activist liberals, as proven by this story; http://www.lifenews.com/state4033.html It deals with an effort to fight a state law mandating pharmacists dispense the "morning after" pill, regardless of their religious convictions.
One common argument I keep coming across involves the accusation of the prolife being selective in their support of things like this. The thinking goes, "You'll be all for some pill pusher not fulfilling a prescription or selling a product that runs against your private beliefs, but what if that same pharmacist refused to dispense insulin? What would you do then?"
My answer; not much at all.
This is where the free market comes into play, NO medical professional should EVER have to act contrary to their beliefs. If those beliefs are outlandish enough you can bet word will get around and their client base will dwindle. They'll feel the cost of fealty in their pocketbook and thats a small price to pay.
What the hell ever happened to freedom of religion in this country? Now we're having to fight for doctors, nurses, etc. to have the right to follow their conscience.
Look, it's not like some nut job is taking a knife to the throat of a pregnant woman and threatening her if she doesn't carry the child. It's about not participating in what we prolifers believe is murder. Period.
Yet to hear some of the pro "choice" crowd tell it, there must be some ironclad obligation to follow through with whatever is necessary for a woman to exercise her "choice" (and why is it a choice only when opting for killing the kid is done? Isn't keeping a child equally a "choice" to be respected?). That obligation entails dispensing pills, killing a child when it's almost completely out of the womb, etc.
Never mind the personal beliefs of medical professionals, they're supposed to check them in at the door when they come to work.
This crap is insane.
