Wow, have you guys managed to deteriorate this thread!
Back to the topic.
Bionic, you take issue with doctors being allowed to refuse abortions or hand out birth control.
If it is medically necessary I think they should. Examples would be Hormonal imbalances, mother's life is threatened, and so forth. However what medicinal purpose doers birth control serve? Pregnancy is NOT a medical sickness no more that being born ugly is. What sickness is birth control or abortion treating when used as a birth control method?
Your comment about "having it my way" is selfish and shows the problems within the democratic party for the most part. It is the very reason Obama was voted in. "He is going to fix things for me"...is the attitude. You are willing to FORCE your view on someone else that disagrees or has a differing viewpoint. and then you justify your stance by hiding behind the "poor" mantra that all people don't have the choice to go to different doctor. But they did have a choice in the matter to have a s3xual relationship......So because they failed to properly protect themselves (condoms can be found in any convienance store in the nation for under 2 dollars) to accommodate them it is ok to force someone else to violate their moral ethics.
Veni in the past has made some solid points....however the racist overtures in your posts lately are beyond reason. And do nothing but close the mind of what may have been an open minded individual.
Abortion has been and always will be a controversial issue between the Pro Choice and Pro Life. That debate will never be concluded. We know that. Neither side will bend on their viewpoints on the subject, so it's a waste of space to even argue about it. The point I'm trying to make is a person that signs up to be a physician or a pharmacist chose that profession to assist and treat individuals who suffer from ANY medical condition. They shouldn't be able to pick and choose which one's they treat based on their religious views. These professions should be impartial, with the ultimate goal of treating the patient to the best of their abilities, and to the wishes of said patient, since they are paying a price for the 'service'. We all know that a woman looking to get an abortion would not got to their normal GP. Abortion is like any other 'speciality' - Oncologist, Orthopedist, Cardiologist, etc. So to that point, a GP can very well refuse to perform an abortion, but at the same time, that GP should be supportive for their patient's decision, and assist them in finding a reputable 'specialist' willing to perform this procedure.
As far as a pharmacist not administering b1rth control p1lls or Day After P1lls, when a customer has a valid prescription from a licensed physician, to me that's totally inexcusable. You say there are 'alternatives'. You know how many pregnancies have occurred due to defective c0ndoms? Not to mention, in the heat of passion, the last thing partners want to do is be 'interrupted' with the 'procedure' of administering that contraceptive. B1rth Contr9l P1lls have been shown to be 99% effective against pregnancy, IF PROPERLY USED. If a pharmacist has issues or religious convictions about administering these types of drugs, they have no business practicing this profession, plain and simple.
LOLOL. I don't expect Obama to do squat for me. I voted for the guy because the alternative would've wreaked havoc on this country far worse than what he's done so far. Give me a better choice, and I'll vote that individual in. Until then, I'm willing to give our current President a chance to do what he claimed he could do during all his useless campaign speeches. If it's the "same ole' status quo" I've seen in the last two Presidents, I'll vote against him. The difference between me and you is I'm willing to give the guy a shot at fixing the crap that was left him. You only the other hand, will never accept any accomplishments he does because the simple truth is you think Democrat=Evil=Socilaism. He could turn this country around 180, and you still wouldn't back him because it goes against your logic and your beliefs in that the only political system that is good, is Conservatism. I've seen that system in action. It didn't work out all that well did it? If it did, why are their so many Americans that are obviously against a Total 100% Conservative political system?
