But, I don't want to actually do the job!

Here's a hint, people -- if you REFUSE to do the job, you can't be a pharmacist. If you can't bring yourself to provide the legally, dr-provided prescriptions for birth control, morning-after pill, or RU-486, then DON'T GO TO PHARMACIST SCHOOL. You are not qualified to do the job. You don't get to decide which drugs are ok and which are not, based on some fantasy you have of "morality".

The Missouri proposition is:
SB 609 - This act protects the conscience rights of pharmaceutical professionals. Such pharmaceutical professionals shall not be required to perform, assist, recommend, refer for, or participate in any service involving a particular drug or device that they have a good faith belief is used for abortions. In these instances, the pharmaceutical professional shall be immune from civil or criminal liability and will not have their license suspended or revoked. Employers cannot refuse to hire, discriminate against, segregate, or terminate a pharmaceutical professional because of their opposition to any service involving a particular drug or device that they have a good faith belief is used for abortions. Colleges and teaching hospitals are also prohibited from discriminating against any person who refuses to participate in any service or training which involves a particular drug that they have a good faith belief is used for abortions. In addition, they are prohibited from requiring a student or teacher to pay fees to fund these activities.
The people proposing these narrow minded, bigoted laws are beneath contempt.

"Oh, I shouldn't have to do anything that I find uncomfortable or difficult. The world should revolve around me and my views. " What next, doctors refusing to treat people who smoke? Turning people away from the ER because they are muslim, because a nurse has an issue? Sorry, charlie. The world doesn't quite work that way.

Why is it that women are innocent, hapless victims who are cruelly exploited by the availability of abortion while simultaneously being selfish, slatternly sluts who deserve the punishment of forced pregnancy? Do these people even understand the concept of hypocracy?
