Are you claiming that being against abortion is solely a personal choice and has no basis in medical science? Unless you are doing that, then you’re simply parroting GOP wedge issues and not engaging with what I said.
Okay, so you concede. You think that doctors shouldn't be forced to provide abortion drugs.
Now can you tell us why a doctor should be forced to prescribe anything they don't feel is ethical to prescribe? Why should the law force them to do anything?
Euthanasia drugs, hormone therapy, puberty blockers, drugs the doctor feels is inappropriate; why should they be forced by the law to provide it?
You never answered the question.
What. Should. The. Cashier. Do?
Its a pretty simple question. He either sells it, doesn't sell it, or quits his job. Those are his choices. And if you have moral issues selling alcohol... Why did you apply for a job that would require you to do it?
As for the clinic...
Did the clinic know before hand? Is it a clinic that handles abortion based medical services?
Basically: is there a possibility that abortion pill prescription would come up at this clinic when said doctor applied for the job?
Also: if he doesn't do his job, the clinic should be allowed to fire him. Just like every other job if someone refuses to do a legal part of it.
This scenario isn't analogous to this bill. Employees are generally hired at the discretion of the employer. The employer generally has the power of buying (hiring) what they like, just like you have the power of buying the things that you like. You have the power of going to another employer, like the employer has the power of hiring someone else. The employer can fire the worker refusing to sell alcohol, I agree. If the markets weren't free enough to where you didn't have the power of going to another employer, and we were all forced to work for Safeway and Costco, there might be enough support for a law against employers requiring workers to sell alcohol and other vices, and the company would have to make alcohol checkout lanes or sell it online.
In this case the bill was about the law forcing doctors to provide services that they didn't want to provide, which is different than the requirements of an employer in a free market.
