So...an Eckerd pharmacist about 3 blocks from my house refused to sell the "morning after" pill to a rape victim who had a valid prescription.

Discuss.

Never heard of Eckert Drugstore. is it some sort of private store or a chain?

Shop smart. Shop Walgreens.

Chain store like walgreens only not as widespread.

And I think it's fucked up especially if she did have a valid order for it.

"This medication is designed to end life, and I cannot abide by that. There are three of us here, and we all agree on the issue,"

If they dont like the medicine, fine, they just need a new fucking job.
Just who in the fuck do they think they are to make someone else suffer? Its easy to be against a pill, but what if you or your girlfriend was raped and impregnated, what would you do?
Note: That post wasnt directed to anyone here

So they support rape?

clearly not, they're ( all 3 employees in the store at the pharmacy counter at the time) pro-life, anti abortion.

which still means shit, it's not my pharmacist opinion on which drug I should or shouldn't take

Well as long as the pharmacist pays for all her doctor bills, hospital bills, and adopts the child, I don't see a problem.

If I were a woman I don't think I'd want a lifelong reminder some asshole raped me. Granted you said adopt, but would a mother ever really forget going through the 9 months of being pregnant and the actual giving birth?

Exactly. And even if she did have the baby and gave it up for adoption, then tried to put it all behind her, who's to say that in 20-30 years that kid won't come back to find out why s/he wasn't wanted? Then not only does the victim have to relive that incident, the kid will have to live with the fact that s/he was a product of a violent crime.

There have been women who have gotten pregnant from a rape and decided to continue the pregnancy, and even keep the baby after. They are a lot stronger than I could be. I'd never be able to do that.

That pharmasist has no right to use his job to push his views onto someone else. It's not up to him to go against what a doctor said (the prescription). I hope he loses his license for this.

Burke · Post by **Burke** » February 5, 2004, 3:30 pm

I made that last statement with tongue in cheek. She didn't choose to have sex. She didn't make a bad decision. She was raped. That pharmacist and anyone else who feels that a rape victim should be forced to have the resultant child can go jump in a lake and drown in their retarded set of values.

It's a bible-belt drug-store chain. Used to go there as a kid when I lived in the Fort Walton Beach area of Florida. Pro-lifers demonstrated downtown at the local clinic regularly, and would go overboard occasionally accosting abortion patients - trying to block them or drag them away, sometimes hurting them. If anyone recalls, the first abortion doctor homicide happened in Pensacola (45 minutes away). Since I lived in that part of Florida for so long as a military brat going to public school off-base (and consequently hanging out quite a bit with the locals), I think I have the authority to say that many of the pre-Generation X (hate to use that term, but I will) natives are close-minded assholes in every sense of the word.

If you weren't born there - I insiste that you never make the conscious decision to live down there. BUT...feel free to visit during spring break The beaches are fucking great

Every cloud has a silver lining...Eckerds dismissed the pharmacist...

Ennia · Post by **Ennia** » February 13, 2004, 4:44 pm

wow, he says he already declined that pill some 5 times before, how did that escape any disciplinary action? Guess nobody made any complaints about it.

And how pathetic is "I didn't know about the policy"

Don't worry.. Jesus loves them and will cradle them to his bosom for their good works. His people will provide for them in their time of need and he is assured a seat a christ's side in heaven.

Fucking podunk bible beating rednecks.

What exactly did that baby do to deserve a death penalty? He was horribly inconvienent.

So the pharmacist didn't want to kill an innocent baby.

Let's go stone him.

Kargyle · Post by **Kargyle** » February 13, 2004, 7:31 pm

There was no baby. At most there was a few cells. Whether there was a baby or not, in this country women still have to right to choose, it isn't up to dickhead pharmicists to decide whether or not a women should have a child. Would you have preferred that she wait until she had a pregenancy test and found out for sure that she was pregnant and then had an abortion?

Bottom line: It isn't up to you, or the pharmicist, or anyone else. It is up to her.

Wow, you are quite ignorant eh? Tell me, what exactly did that woman do to deserve to be raped?

Morning after pills are usually taken within 72 hours of sexual intercourse. It's to prevent pregnancy from even occuring (someone correct me if I'm wrong please).

I hate to see what you'd make your wife/daughter/sister do if they were ever raped.

Ermmm i think it would be a blastula at best though of course there is no indication that she was impregnated...Is there...

In violation apparently of the terms and conditions of his employment

Let's go stone him.

Heh nah I'm satisfied with the conclusion.

Excuse you for being ignorant...

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=s ... ter_pill_2

Morning-after pills prevent ovulation or fertilization and possibly interfere with implantation of a fertilized egg into the uterus, the medical definition of pregnancy.

If a woman already is pregnant, they have no effect.

There was no baby, nor would a baby have been "killed" if the pill was effective.

Conception is rarely immediate. If conception had already occured, the pill would have no effect.

The pharmacist should have been stoned. In that, despite your ignorance, you are correct.
