Since she is an employee and the requested action (filling the prescription) is not an illegal act (at least not for now!) she should have been terminated for not fulfilling her duties.<BR/><BR/>Seems like Target gave her the option of not filling the prescription as long as she referred the customer to another pharmacist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-1138686894214637372006-01-31T00:54:00.000-05:002006-01-31T00:54:00.000-05:00Remember this from Bill Maher? :"More and more Ame...Remember this from Bill Maher? :<BR/><BR/>"More and more American pharmacists are refusing to fill prescriptions for birth control because of their personal moral objections. Hey, you know what would really teach us a lesson? If you took off your pretend doctor jacket and got another job. <BR/><BR/>Or maybe I'm wrong. Maybe cutting off the pill doesn't even go far enough. Yeah, it's high time activist drugstores stopped coddling sluts on every aisle. Let's not sell any more makeup either---a good woman doesn't paint herself. And no more deodorant---you should smell bad, keep the boys from getting ideas. And no suntan lotion---I've seen what happens at the MTV Beach House, you whore. You want to avoid melanoma, buy a veil.<BR/><BR/>[snip]<BR/><BR/>In conclusion, let me say to all the activist pharmacists out there---the ones who think sex is bad probably because sex with them always is---fellas, a pharmacist is not a lawgiver, not even a doctor. In the medical pecking order, you rank somewhere in between a chiropractor and a tree surgeon. You don't answer to a law above the laws of men. You work for Sav-On."Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09811694143714068436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-1138673123771926572006-01-30T21:05:00.000-05:002006-01-30T21:05:00.000-05:00Oh, yawn.

And let's say she was raped. (Or maybe she is taking the medicine for completely unrelated reasons.) Now good ole Heather's actions seem to indicate that she believes that this woman should die.<BR/><BR/>Pharmacists should not have the right to refuse to fill prescriptions. It is not possible for a pharmacist to know why someone is taking medicine. They may have a good idea, but they can not know for sure. That difference could easily kill someone. Target should have fired this creep the second she decided not to fulfill a prescription. Remind me not to shop at Target. (Ok so there isn't a Target within – say 200 km and a border so you won't really have to do all that much reminding.)<BR/><BR/>I don't think that the details matter at all in this case. <BR/>-edwinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
