A Little (Fuck) Off Target

This one’s pretty old, I guess. But, still, news to me:
Target refuses to fill woman’s prescription for emergency contraception
A 26-year-old Missouri woman was refused EC when she handed her prescription to a pharmacist at a Target store in Fenton, MO, on September 30. The woman was told by the pharmacist, “I won’t fill it. It’s my right not to fill it.”
Given this dipshit behavior, other questions can legitimately be asked along the same lines:
- Target pharmacists who don’t want to fill prescriptions for Jewish customers who killed Christ?
- Target pharmacists who only dispense HIV medicine to “innocent victims” of AIDS?
- Target pharmacists who want proof that women were really raped, and that they didn’t “deserve it,” before they sell them emergency contraception?
- Or how about Target pharmacists (or cashiers) who are simply Jehovah’s Witnesses? Can they refuse to sell any medicine to anyone, even aspirin?
Read more about the bullshit here, here, and here.

For those xians who wonder why atheists are so worried about god-lovers, this is Exhibit 1. I fear this is just a taste of whats to come for those of us who aren’t friends with the big invisible daddy in the sky.

Bobbo, man… Great graphic!
And yes, this is the real reason we fight back. We don’t give a flying rat’s ass what you believe. It’s your constant encroachment on our rights and freedoms we despise. And yes, on our very lives.
Like, um, when was the last time an atheist or agnostic strapped a bomb to himself, walked into a disco and blew 30 kids to smithereens?

“Like, um, when was the last time an atheist or agnostic strapped a bomb to himself, walked into a disco and blew 30 kids to smithereens?”
I’ve thought about it, but that’s because of my distaste for the music, not my atheism.

I would prefer to see these people exercising their right to find a new career when their current one conflicts with religious beliefs. They seem to think it’s okay to condemn other people to suffering, as long as it’s not themselves doing the suffering.

You know what, I’m going to start doing this too. The next time someone comes in wearing a crucifix I’m going to regfuse to serve them. And I’m going to say that it’s my right not to serve people who’s opinions I don’t agree with.
Let’s see how I far I get with that.

Somebody should “target” that motherfucker’s head.

Oh, this shit gets my blood pressure up. Is there a pharmacy chain that does not allow its pharmacists to do this? If so, who?
Next will be the airline pilot who refuses to fly his plane to Las Vegas because he doesn’t believe in gambling, or to S.F. because he hates gays. There is no end to this flawed behavior.

Yes, Eckerd’s (sp?). They will fire a pharmacist for refusing to do their job. As they should.

Sweet. I hope they take my insurance.
