KH, right, that's a pretty good analogy actually. And this is a case of medication too and not just some burgers...

How about the fact that they're BEING PAID TO DO SO.

This just proves that religious people shouldn't be allowed jobs that bring them into contact with the public.

That won't work. McDonalds can't reasonably be described as "food".

If they're hired under an agreement to not dispense the given medications then they don't have to.

It's not merely a matter of opinion. It's a matter of Ben consistently refusing to listen to his brain before he types.

If they work for a chain, then fire them. If they own their own pharmacy, then tough luck. No business owner should be forced to carry a product if they don't want to.

Exactly. It doesn't bug me that they're taking a stand; it bugs me that they think they can take the stand but should be shielded from any consequences of their actions.

Reminds me of these idiot leftist protesters I knew in college. They openly disrupted a talk by CIA director William Casey, which was brave in its own way -- then called in every chip they could think of (alumni parents, professors they'd befriended, etc.) to keep the university from disciplining them -- which was sheer cowardice and a betrayal of their own principles.

There is a problem with only providing it to married women though.

Marital status is one of those things you aren't allowed to discriminate based on...

But again, this is about more than carrying a product; its about picking and choosing who to serve (as with refusing to give the pill to single women). That's just bullsh*t.

You should welcome consequences if you are really doing it for principles.

I never said I approved of them discriminating based on marital status. If they don't want to sell it, that's fine. If they do sell it, though, they need to sell it to everyone.
