Now they only need to do the same thing with fucktard pharmacists who won't give out birth control. Same with doctors who won't prescribe it or the ones who won't give women tubal ligation if they're under a certain age and don't have kids - it's quite possible for a woman in her early 20s (or even 18) to be absolutely sure she never wants kids.

Yes.  Just curious, but have you spent much time among the religious?  Saying they are deluded is not a jest.  The thinking is warped and many make snap decisions based on fear.  It's not pretty.

Because many people are insane.  Feel free to bring that up anytime you meet an intelligent design proponent.  If god designed us so well why do so many humans need psycholgical help? 

Geez, between a few Catholics supporting the HPV vaccine and now this... I don't know what to think.  It's almost like a tiny glimmer of sanity.

Many gay and lesbian couples (and singles) have raised children that grew up normal, happy and tolerant, just like many heterosexual couples have.  There have been several studies published that have deteremined there is no foundation to concerns that children of gay or lesbian couples are adversely affected by those role models.  They do not have expected sexual identity problems, behavioral problems or other psychological problems and are no more likely to be molested by a parent than other children with heterosexual parents.

Homophobic xtians will always look for ways to castigate individuals and groups whose ideas or lifestyles differ from theirs in even the slightest way.  This is why we have pharmacists and doctors who let their religion get in the way of their oath.  I deliver the mail in a gated area of Bakersfield, CA.  This town is fundy central for the western U.S. and out of more than 700 customers on my route I have at least two dozen preachers living in homes worth anywhere from half a mil to more than two mil.  I am constantly delivering religious materials to these con-artists.  It offends me to have to even handle this crap.  If evangelicals ever get their way and are allowed to refuse services to people based on their religious beliefs I'm going to object to delivering their crap because it goes against my moral grain to deliver religious lies and bullshit to them.  When I'm told I can't then I will sue to prevent jeebus asshats from doing the same.

Religion makes people stupid.  You have to be stupid to believe in such absurd fantasies as xtianity, judaism, islam, taoism, hinduism and all the other assinine ideas con-artists come up with.  As for professionals, particularly in the medical and pharmaceutical fields

Jill, it depends on the state in question as to whether medical coverage is denied. Here in Texas, as of now, a person can be denied coverage at the pharmacy if anything they are, say, or do doesn't meet with the pharmacist's approval. I, for one, can't get birth control because I'm technically single, and the local pharmacist doesn't like that. It sucks, but it's nothing I can stop.

Been there, miss that place, especially the salmon @ Garduno's and the Navajo fry bread @ Fry Bread Mama's in Old Town. Honestly, though, I'm just waiting to take the bus to Saint Paul, Minnesota and will be out of pocket for a few days.

Wouldn't it be fun to open up a pharmacy, then just deny everyone and make up crazy reasons for it?

"Sorry, I don't serve people with blonde hair.. you are all dirty smelly people."

"We have a no tolerance policy for people shorter than 5"8."

"Sir, we don't dispense to people with mustaches. They might be terrorists."

Hell, that could be a reality comedy show on TV.

But the loonies have obfuscated the issue, saying that it's the rights of the (in this case) doctor that are being infringed.

I don't exactly understand how that is true in their microscopic little minds, as I don't remember any "holy" tome mentioning the sinfulness or abomination-ship of artificially inseminating a woman... Lesbian or otherwise. To anyone outside such a situation it's clear as can be that it's pure bigotry.

THOR DAMN IT! GAYS HAVE RIGHTS?

Next thing you know blacks will want to use the same bathrooms and atheists will get elected to political office and women will have the right to vote!

FUCK! What ever happened to good old fashioned bigotry?

What the hell? Was it ever legal to withhold medical treatment based on ANY criteria not health-related?

I realize I'm a bit late to the party, but I'm still shocked nonetheless. Thank goodness it's been sorted out.

I'm picking up what you're putting down.
