NEW YORK (AP) -- In Congress and states nationwide, anti-abortion activists are broadening efforts to support hospitals, doctors and pharmacists who -- citing moral grounds -- want to opt out of services linked to abortion and emergency contraception.

A couple of thoughts on a few lines from this article ...

Pharmacist Gene Herr was fired by Eckerd's Drugs after he refused to fill a prescription for a rape victim seeking emergency contraception. -- This man is an asshole. Enough said.

"More people, including pharmacists, are becoming informed how certain drugs operate -- and those who want to avoid ending the life of a human being would avoid those drugs," she said. -- You dumb son of a bitch, every drug can end a human life, a walking talking human being who can walk right up to you, get a prescription for painkillers, then go home and swallow the whole fucking bottle.

You know what? If your moral or religious beliefs get in the way of doing your job, then you shouldn't be doing it. It's not that hard a concept.

That's the problem - if the Rapture actually happens, we'll be stuck with all the idiot fundies like Falwell.

I like to think we're all nice enough to go while Falwell and those idiots are stuck here. :)
