Have you ever been in a situation at work where you've had to judge between your morals and work ethic? Say you work at wal-mart and a bunch of your friends want you to steal cd's for them and you know the security camera is over your head. Do you do it out of respect for your friends or save your job? I know this is a different situation but this lady should have gone to the hospital first not Eckerd.

She did see a doctor first, she had a prescription. This isnt an over the counter thing, if the pharmacist has problems handing out medicine, then that person should not be a pharmacist.

A close friend of mine was raped when we were in university. Through helping her out in counselling and just being there for her afterwards on the night it happened, I can tell you that when you experience a trauma like this, you don't exactly think rationally.

She did what she thought would have helped her out immediately and that was go get this drug. Then, we have some fucking religious zealot who's job it was to help those in need flatout DENY her?!?! That's beyond dispicable.

The parmacists decision was based on religious grounds, therefore you are wrong. It's not "Mose's Eckards" or "Shalom Eckerds". You do your job, end of story.

What baby? This is a preemptive measure taken to avoid becoming pregnant? The pharmacist is just too stupid or is too much of an uncompromising zealot to accept the fact that the morning after pills do not abort pregnancies. You cant abort something that hasnt taken place.
