The Target Culture of Life
So now a pharmacist at a Target in Fenton, MO refused to fill a prescription for a woman's emergency contraceptive, claiming that it was "her right not to" do so and directing the woman to the Walgreen's across the street.
[Remember: Walgreen's = Babykillers.]
John Aravosis hilariously and aptly remarks:
I think the panoply of "special rights" for conscientious pharmacists goes even farther than that. Can anyone think of other possible manifestations of religious practice among Target pharmacists?

John Aravosis hilariously and aptly remarks:
Who's next?
- Target pharmacists who don't want to fill prescriptions for customers who killed Christ?
- Target pharmacists who only dispense HIV medicine to "innocent victims" of AIDS?
- Target pharmacists who want proof that women were really raped, and that they didn't "deserve it," before they sell them emergency contraception?
- Or how about Target pharmacists (or cashiers) who are simply Jehovah's Witnesses? Can they refuse to sell any medicine to anyone, even aspirin?
