Okay ...It's the stranger, it has an OBVIOUS liberal bias...BUT

Denying antibiotics if they come from an abortion clinic.

What if I have a UTI and got a scrip for antibiotics from planned parenthood (which is completely probable as when I was poorer and without health care I went to PP for any vaginal area related problems.). You're just going to let me get a kidney infection because you object to WHERE it's coming from? THAT is assine! Where I CHOOSE or more importantly CAN (in the case of low income) get treatment should not limit me in my ability to recieve medication.

Also I have a problem with ANYONE assuming I've had an abortion simply off of a scrip for antibiotics.

If someone has certain moral objections, then they shouldn't take jobs that will make them obligatory to go against those morals.

For example, if I were to go into a grocery store, pick up meat and take it to the check out counter, the Cashier cannot deny me that product because he or she is against eating meat.

I do not understand why they are allowing people to this in other fields of work. Why should someone be denied their script just because someone else is against it?

I've ranted and raved about this a lot in other discussions. Seriously, these people need to be fired if they cannot do their jobs.

Yi Min, I totally agree. It's like the pharmacists who are against birth control... um, your job is to fill prescriptions, not to force your beliefs on others. It was prescribed by a medical professional for a REASON.
If I were to go to a pharmacy and have them deny me antibiotics because I got them prescribed at Planned Parenthood, I think I would lobby to get the pharmacist fired. It is no way their right to deny me needed drugs because of their personal beliefs. Their job is to make sure people get the medication they need to get healthy, and to make sure people understand the medication they're taking.
If they feel the need to impose their beliefs upon their patrons, then they either need a different field, or they need to only fill Rxs for say, devout Catholics or whoever also follows their beliefs.

I agree completly, Yi Min. If a pharmacy worker denied to fill my perscription that my DOCTOR filled for me, I will make it quite obvious that I won't shop at that pharmacy again (and make sure none of my friends do either) until that person has been fired.

I feel extreme pity for women living in areas that don't have that option.

And finally, why do they deny birth control and things like that, but I've never heard of a case where they've denied viagra? WTF? How sexist is that?

mmk. When you get strep-throat and it eventually kills you, have fun.

I do not believe that pharmacists should be able to refuse to give you anything unless there is a valid medical reason like a drug interaction.

You do not take a job in which you cannot perform the basic functions of that job.
