There is no apt title...

I'm still trying to understand America, it's national identity, culture; to sum it up, it's way of thinking. For as long as I live here, and indeed become a citizen, I can't think the same way. Now that I've acknowledged that, things will get easier. I don't have to agree with these ways of thiking, but I do try to understand the logic used. Most of the time I'm successful, but this is one of the times I'm not:

For a year, Julee Lacey stopped in a CVS pharmacy near her home in a Fort Worth suburb to get refills of her birth-control pills. Then one day last March, the pharmacist refused to fill Lacey's prescription because she did not believe in birth control.- USAToday.com Druggists refuse to give out pill

Now, I understand that the constitution's separation between church and state means that someone's religious beliefs should not be hindered by the government on any level. But I have to ponder: it's a pharamcist's job to fill precriptions. So, if there is any reason they would be unable to perform their job, should they be employed? Sure, I could sugar-coat that opinion, and softened considerabley, but that's what it boils down to in my mind.

This instant comes down to the fact that this particular instance involves two topics that people don't want to consider discussing over here: Religion & Reproductive-Rights. Both are important issues, yet surely irrelevant in this issue. If you can't do the job, they you shouldn't be there. So the employer should be held to task, as they need to provide the customer/consumer with the means to get what they need.
