Wicked Wanda,
You may put down your sword madam. Lilith has clearly indicated that she wants me to stop posting to this thread. Last night I took the risk of responding to WldIrish’s request, but I felt relatively comfortable doing so as his request preceded her post. As she has the power to revoke my posting privileges, failure to obey may well result in punishment. Accordingly, I shall not post again to this thread. The debate has concluded.

No, what Lilith clearly or not so clearly, indicated is that your behavior could be viewed by some (like myself) as rude. You continuously try to turn conversations into debates. You say, "the debate has concluded" while you have been told 34895792487287 times this is not a debate forum. Your posting shows that you purposely challenge people when they simply state their views. This is rude and frankly it makes people less likely to post. I've grown weary of you not getting it.

here’s what more i think. (if anyone actually gives a shit  )
the aggrieved party, aka the pharmacists, have every right to challenge this. it’s that whole checks and balances thing.
to flip the sitch – if it was the licensing committee (or whoeverthefuck decides these things) that suddenly decided it was morally wrong to dispense the morning after pill because … say … the rule of government had taken the official stance that to interfere in any way with the stages of conception was tantamount to murder (hey, don’t scoff, it could happen) then i would hope there’d be doctors and pharmacists who would fight for changing that law. in fact, i know there would be. that’s why i can empathize a little. but i also think that what these pharmacists are doing is just another example of the “that’s not fair!” attitude that is so pervasive in this country these days.
[whine]boohoo. my feelings are hurt. the government must fix this for me. i want to be the squeaky wheel because it’s my right to be one. everyone must stand and take notice that i am unhappy and i have been offended. the media must shout my story to all, and all must say “good grief, how could we have been so thoughtless!?” and no-one may gainsay my right to challenge the government. the constitution says i can.[/whine]
but just cause it’s your right doesn’t mean you’re wise to demand it. shit stirrers, that what they are. don’t wanna dispense the meds? then don’t, see how many people you piss off. find that your community backs you 100%? good for you, you’ve found a niche that you can settle into. piss off enough and you’ll have to close up shop or move somewhere else. and don’t be surprised if someone calls you on it and takes you to court. you’ve never had the right to flat-out refuse to fill a script before, so why do you think you should now? and just because you’re offended doesn’t mean you need to go tying up the courts, bitching about it. we all get offended sometimes, deal with it.
we’ve got to stop demanding and making policy that is based more on emotion and hurt feelings than logic, sustainability and objectivity.
aside: i can justify (what i think would be) a legitimate fight if the tables were turned because IF the tables were turned, the argument would be against imposing an emotional morality on reasonable behavior. unless a doctor or pharmacist sought to actually force an unwilling woman to take the morning after pill, there would never be the chance that one person’s moral judgement could ever interfere with another person’s request for medical care just because this pill is available. a much more logical and sustainable attitude.
and another aside. jseal, i'm surprised at you, and more than a little disappointed. you are well aware of the open attitude that pixies has. we may all disagree about things but i don't think anyone would ever get banned just for stating an opinion a mod disagreed with. i think you owe lil an apology for implying she would stoop to such petty behavior. perhaps i have overstepped my bounds here, or i am butting in, but there it is. |

Is there anyone here that thinks I lead a morally acceptable life? ha ha
I know that it's not a group decision, but an individual one, but still...
look at me! I've posted 509 attachments here! And it might shock you people to know that a great number of them are pictures of my body in various states of undress.
And some show spoo.
At any rate, that's a topic for another thread.

Wow, I would never have expected this when I sent the article to Aqua. Thank you Aqua for posting it. Our society is very litigious and while I agree that the majority of the suits filed are frivolous, everyone is entitled to their day in court. Example: The judge that sued the cleaners for 67 million dollars for one lost pair of trousers! Now that was a waste of time, money and the courts efforts especially when they could have been presiding over a rape or murder case!
I do agree that my pharmacist should give me any drug that my doctor prescribes. The real issue is that in most states you do not need a prescription and can request it yourself. However as the FDA has approved this drug, I do feel that any female regardless of age or situation (God forgive having been raped or a victim of incest!) should be dispensed this medication.
And I agree that if we continue with the thought of them being able to pick and choose which meds to dispense, we will definitely be in an ASS-ININE situation.

It is a legal substance, and they dispense it. Taking my liquor store one step further, if you are of age and go into a package store wanting to buy a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue, they are required to sell it to you. Now whether or not it's a stock item is another question altogether. Liquor stores are not required to maintain an inventory of every possible product, and though I'm not up on pharmaceutical law, I would think the same is true. While package stores can choose whether or not to place a special order...I imagine pharmacies are required to place orders for non-inventory product. Perhaps that's the achilles heel of this situation. They can choose not to stock it, making it a "special order item" that would take a day or two to come in.
While I don't agree with the idea...it's legal, and I respect the law.

i have a solution. morning after pill, aisle 5, right between the formula and diapers and the prophylactics and yeast infection meds. unlike allergy meds, you can't make meth with these, so i don't really see a problem. |

In some of the grocery stores in my town they have a box sample of condoms out but if you want them you must go ask the pharmacist. Several grocery chains do not carry condoms at all. I hope if they refuse to stock condoms on the shelves they do us the favor of stocking Plan B in the pharmacy.
