D'oh...

"Her doctor recommended she take the drug *after she miscarried* about
five weeks into her pregnancy, enabling her to avoid undergoing a more
invasive procedure. But Misoprostol can also be used with Mifepristone
to end a pregnancy in its early stages. She suspects that it was for
that reason that the store refused her prescription without providing a
reason.

While she was able to obtain the medication somewhere else, she brought
the issue up again when visiting the store to fill out a separate
prescription.

“She looks at my name and she says ‘Oh, well, I couldn’t think of a
valid reason why you would need this prescription,’” Cartrett said. “I
tell her my reasons for needing it, and she says ‘Well, I don’t feel
like there is a reason why you would need it, so we refused to fill
it.’”

A pharmacist for the store, Sandip Patel, told WGXA that under state
law, pharmacists are able to turn down prescriptions. A Walmart
spokesperson said the company encourages its pharmacists to “use their
professional judgement” on a case-by-case basis."

Try reading for comprehension. The pharmacist had no valid reason for
denying her the medication. She had already suffered a miscarriage...and
she did obtain the Rx elsewhere.

Religious crackpots...they're destroying this country.\



This is nothing but hype. There are 4,177 Walmart stores in the USA
Each one employs 3 or 4 pharmacists. That's somewhere between 12,531
and 16,798 pharmacists. To suggest that because one used his/her
lawful discretion in the filling of one prescription .. for any reason
.. means that religious crackpots are destroying this country is simply
absurd.





It's just part of a spreading disease, and the "lawful discretion" was
built upon religious creepitude, to coin a phrase. The Walmart
pharmacist is just one example of this. There are many others. This sort
of insanity is reason enough to not vote for ultra-conservative
Republicans, who will only further this nonsense agenda.

And what if the woman in question was impoverished and had a beg a ride
to get to the only pharmacy around, and it happened to be that Walmart
pharmacy where the pharmacist was a hyper-religious moron? Then what? Do
without the needed medication?


"What ifs". What if the woman trying to get the prescription filled at
Walmart was an obnoxious, demanding and foul mouthed customer? You
don't know that she wasn't. I don't know if she was.

I am convinced that we have a whole generation of people ...
(particularly the "Y" generation) who have been bombarded by the liberal
media, blogs and social media sources to consider themselves victims
rather than citizens. The media hype pushes entitlement philosophies
based on the well established "rich getting richer" mentality. Personal
responsibility and accountability don't play much of a role anymore.
It's political brainwashing.

The fact that you single out a single person out of many thousands doing
the same jobs who is an aberration only serves to further the political
hype.

People are smarter than that, thankfully.
