Do Your Damn Job

So there's proposed legislation that would allow pharmacists to refuse to fill a prescription that they are morally opposed to. Obviously, this is a thinly-veiled attack against "morning after" pills and the like. Since the right don't have the courage to just stand up and legislate against the drug itself, they're taking the coward's way and doing back-door legislation that they hope will have the same effect but doesn't put the heat on them.

If you can't respect the attourney-client privilege, don't become a lawyer. If you can't stay true to the Hippocratic oath, don't become a doctor. If you can't keep people's dark secrets to yourself, don't take confession. And if you can't put the little blue and white pills into the little brown plastic cup, then don't become a pharmacist.

It is not the pharmacist's place to inject his or her personal beliefs into something as personal and protected as the medical deliberations that occur between doctor and patient. It's none of your damn business what drugs I'm taking. Do your damn job, or change jobs.
