Judging by the fact that you're not denying that you meant what I think you meant, I can only assume that, yes, you are perfectly okay with people's right to believe in a deity/deities being allowed to take away other people's right to live. Explain to me why the WTC attacks, the Crusades/Inquisition, and other such events were such bad things if the right to be religious is more important than the right to live.
Clearly.
The woman would be denied her job because she is incapable of doing it, not because she's religious.
We've been over this. What if this is the only pharmacy in town? What if the person is unable to get around very easily (disabled, elderly, etc.)?
Yeah, that totally fixes the fact that someone has died because someone decided her religion was more important than your life.
Ahahaha no. Don't try to get out of this. I asked you at what point the right to live healthily becomes more important than the right to be religious. You said never. My question wasn't just about birth control, which should have been perfectly clear because I gave two examples of what I meant in the very next ****ing sentence. You looked at my question, and I'm being generous in assuming that you read what came immediately after the question, and said that the right to live never comes above the right to follow a religion. Unless you want to retract that statement in a goddamned hurry, I'm going to assume that you meant what you said.
If someone makes a personal decision to not go to a hospital, that's fine. If someone makes a personal decision to prevent anyone else from going to a hospital, they have crossed several lines.
If there's no chance of the person getting out of their current conditions, if they have a living will drawn up, etc., etc.
I damn well hope so.
Eh?
Okay. So we should hire a Hindu to work as a butcher even though we know he will refuse to handle beef, because if we don't we'd be discriminating against his religion. Wow, sounds like a plan - I should convert to fundamentalist Christianity, apply for a job at an abortion clinic, and then claim a religious opposition to abortion once I get hired. Sounds like an easy way to get paid without having to do anything - after all, if my religion says abortion is a sin, then clearly I should be able to get out of having to do anything related to abortion on the job, even if the job revolves entirely around abortion! But they can't fire me when they realize they're essentially handing me a big fat paycheck for doing jack-monkey-squat. That would be religious discrimination.
I am now asking this as an honest question: Do you even read what you type?
Your mistake was respecting humanity in the first place... I think!
Clearly.
As the Moral Pharmacist (TM) had the right not to. Because a perspective employee cannot be denied a job due to religion, any more than they can be denied cause they are gay! Anything less is discrimination!

Yeah cause I could not live another 0:20-1:00 to drive to the next pharmacy and fill my script.
We've been over this. What if this is the only pharmacy in town? What if the person is unable to get around very easily (disabled, elderly, etc.)?
Then it falls to my family to try and sue the profits outta the Pharmacy.
Yeah, that totally fixes the fact that someone has died because someone decided her religion was more important than your life.
Not to mention that the prescription here was for a contraceptive! I have never heard that a contraceptive was ever used as a life sustaining medication.
Ahahaha no. Don't try to get out of this. I asked you at what point the right to live healthily becomes more important than the right to be religious. You said never. My question wasn't just about birth control, which should have been perfectly clear because I gave two examples of what I meant in the very next ****ing sentence.

People choose to not go to the hospital because of religious reasons all the time.
If someone makes a personal decision to not go to a hospital, that's fine. If someone makes a personal decision to prevent anyone else from going to a hospital, they have crossed several lines.
Also people choose to pull the plug terminating a life all the time.
If there's no chance of the person getting out of their current conditions, if they have a living will drawn up, etc., etc.
I know a plethora of Attorneys that would argue (and win possibly) your position.
I damn well hope so.
Yeah my parents get/got there scripts filled by mail. They aren't/weren't in my situation any more.
Eh?
Which she wouldn't do because of her religious beliefs. Thus religious discrimination.
