The author was wrong on so many levels, it is hard to know where to aim. Let's just take one aspect: Abortion. Churchies are all dead set against birth control because of their religious beliefs about sex. The truth is that people have sex, regardless of their religious beliefs. Some just pray afterwards and ask Jesus to forgive their sin. Simply preventing pregnancy would eliminate most abortions yet, the most obvious fix: control of fertility and pregnancy is eschewed by these religious nutters. It is shocking about how many abortions occur because kids, all hopped up on a judgemental religion, are too afraid of Hell to bring a condom on their date. With that given, only one agency has helped prevent more people from swarming the planet and that agent is Science. You want to stop abortion? Stop trying to undermine human nature with patently idiotic dogma laced with fear-tactics and support family planning and safe sex. mercola.com Should Pharmacists Decide Whether You Get Birth Control Pills? When Julee Lacey, a married mother of two, attempted to get a refill on her birth control prescription, her CVS pharmacist refused and told her she didn’t believe in birth control. Situations like these could become more frequent since many conservatives are looking to implement laws that would protect the pharmacist’s job if they decided to refuse prescribing birth control based on moral or religious beliefs. Opposing Beliefs Conservative pharmacists believe that the pharmacist’s job is to benefit and enhance human life and stated that birth control pills do not enhance one’s life, therefore they shouldn’t be forced to prescribe them. Experts who opposed these views said that pharmacists, who aren’t concerned about a woman’s ability to make her own decisions regarding her health, should reconsider their career as a pharmacist. Often these arguments over birth control surface during debates over abortion and usually the same sides are represented; those against abortion rights often are opposed to using birth control as a form of contraception.
