Politics is so inconvenient

[firecat]

Planned Parenthood's http://www.saveroe.com/fillmypillsnow/ web site reports that Walgreens is among the pharmacies that allow their pharmacists to refuse to dispense prescriptions they don't personally approve of (this universally means prescriptions for birth control or emergency contraception).

According to the web site, the other pharmacies known to attack women's rights in this manner are Rite Aid, Target, Wal-Mart, and Winn Dixie.

I'm very annoyed at losing the convenience of being able to shop at my local 24 hour Walgreens.

Maybe I'll get a job at a steakhouse, claim to be an ethical vegetarian, and refuse to sell/serve any dishes with meat. That would take less time than going to pharmacy school just so I can become a pharmacist and refuse to dispense Viagra.

And we *need* you over there, too. What an annoying thread. I've actually dropped 2 of those guys into my killfile, 'til I can regain my composure.

I have mixed feelings on the annoyingness of threads like that. The upside is that the nitwits wind up drawing a lot of really brilliant stuff out of some of the people responding to them.

Pity it's not having that effect on ailbhe, though.
