A Project for a New Global Future

I was listening to Loveline with Dr. Drew recently and an interesting subject was brought up. A man called in to ask if men were legally allowed to purchase the Plan B emergency contraceptive pill. He had tried to purchase it for his girlfriend, but was turned down because he was not female.

In a surprising step in the right direction on August 24, 2006  Plan B was made available without a prescription.  There are no gender restrictions–only an age restriction.  So why do pharmacists continue to impose their personal beliefs on the general public? Was the pharmacist simply misinformed? Doubtful–after 8 years at university, surely they know to consult their references when posed with an uncertainty.

This has been an ongoing problem for quite some time. Pharmacists have been refusing to fill birth control prescriptions for years. Some have been fired from their jobs, which is the correct action to take against insubordination, but many have not only kept their jobs but receive no reprimand for refusing to dispense prescribed medication to patients based on religious beliefs. The president of the self righteous Christian organization Pharmacists for Life was rightfully terminated from her job as a Pharmacist at Kmart in 1996 for refusing to fill a prescription for birth control and has since been on a crusade to impose the group’s holier-than-thou beliefs on Americans.

“The pharmacist who declines to dispense drugs or counseling which he knows to violate his conscience, properly understood, is resisting an objective evil and, in fact, is doing his client a favor. On the contrary, those who wish to mandate dispensing of drugs under any and all conditions or whims are really the ones imposing a false, relativistic, secular and humanistic morality on the pharmacist who understands that he cannot cooperate in something objectively wrong or evil. Pharmacists are under no obligation, even if written in the positive law, to violate the Divine Law. This would include, but not be limited to any mandate to dispense or counsel for contraception, abortion, euthanasia and assisted suicide. It is a grave error, which has arisen especially over the past 500 years, that a person may do as he pleases without negative consequences in both the temporal and eternal spheres.”

Do these pharmacists even know anything about the “Divine Law” they so vehemently embrace?  Death is one of the most important Divine Laws.  If it were not the will of the Lord to have people die, we would simply live forever.  Every baby would be born healthy, every abortion and attempted suicide would be unsuccessful. To truly embrace Divine Law means doing everything you can to support the complete cycle of life by ending it with death.  By denying birth control to anyone who requests it, these pharmacists are denying the will of the Lord, the Divine Law that they claim to support.  It is completely reasonable to assume that these pharmacists have brought a lot of displeasure to the Lord and will likely spend their afterlife burning and rotting in hell.
