This story is from about a week ago, but it still burns my ass: Pharmacists Who Won’t Dispense Morning-After Pill Fired

Eckerd Corp. has fired three pharmacists who declined to fill an emergency contraception prescription for a woman who had been raped, one of the pharmacists said Wednesday. [...]

Herr said he declined to fill the prescription for the so-called “morning-after pill” because he believes it could have killed the embryo if the woman already had conceived. Though he had declined five or six times in the past to fill such prescriptions, it was the first time he had been handed one for a rape victim, he said.

“I went in the back room and briefly prayed about it,” said Herr, who had worked for Eckerd for five years. “I actually called my pastor at Denton Bible Church and asked him what he thought about it.”

When asked if he was bitter about being fired, this is what he said:

“I’m a Christian. I feel like God gave me an opportunity to, I guess, make a stand for what is right,” Herr said. “He’s gonna take care of me either way.”

Yeah, well, I’d rather he take care of you without you working in a place where you could pull shit like this, jackass. And people wonder xians piss me off.
