When somebody needs to be fired

Unbelievable.

A pharmacist in Menomonie, Wisconsin is facing legal action for refusing to refill a woman's prescription for the birth control pill. The K-Mart pharmacist claimed it would violate his religious beliefs to fill a prescription for a contraceptive that could cause what he believed to be an abortion, and refused her right to have the prescription transferred, according to the Wisconsin State Journal.

If this isn't bad enough, the loonies on the religious right want to enforce this behavior by law. In this case, Winconsin's governor said he wouldn't sign the bill.

Wisconsin governor Jim Doyle (D) has promised to veto pending “conscience clause” legislation that would allow pharmacists and other medical providers to selectively fulfill their duties based on religious beliefs...

“The Right to Life movement has been very active in ensuring that pharmacists can refuse a woman access to her birth control prescriptions,” said Lisa Boyce of Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin.

Gee, I guess it's not enough that these people can buy up hospitals and then refuse to tie women's tubes when such a service is requested since it goes against the religious beliefs of the hospital. This is ridiculous. Taking birth control is not an abortion. Getting your tubes tied is not an abortion. And if your religion prohibts you from being able to do your job properly, then by all means, go find another profession. Asshole.
