he has a job to do. If he is anti-gay should he refuse medication for AIDS too?

Reading comprehension is weak in this one. She went to at least hte doctor first and I am assuming the police. She had to get a prescription somewhere. Duh....

I'm sure if you go the hospital or something they have that type of medicine.

OIC, now that makes more sense.

I personally respect the guy for upholding his beliefs.

I think the morning after pill is a series of pills you take every couple of hours. The hospital wont necessarily hold you the entire time and only give you a portion of the medicine you have to take. They give you a prescription to go and get the rest from a pharmacy to complete the process.

Still, you can uphold your beliefs and not deny a patient the medicine that was prescribed to them. It isnt an abortion pill, so I dont see how this persons beliefs come into place. If the person was already pregnant, then I would understand, but the medicine prevents pregnancy from taking place.

Not sure here, but it could have have risked the life of the baby.

Choices and consequences.

Airborne Butters · 02-13-2004, 10:43 AM

I'm not saying I agree with him, just the fact that he stuck to his guns in the face of pressure.

That's respectable.

Zoner · 02-13-2004, 10:55 AM

That is by far the most disgusting thing I've read in the past 2 minutes. biggrin:

Seriously though, those pharmacists should be ass raped themselves. Absolutely appalling conduct for such a profession.

Well she was raped...
