I can understand why people are atheist, agnostic and deists.
How do you feel about worshippers of Transcendental Meditative
Catholic Buddhist Fundamentalist Evolutionary Space Monkeys?
I don't care if they have sex with their monkeys, so long as they
don't try to shovel their religious beliefs onto my secular
society. No ayatollahs need apply.
But you believe that it's perfectly ok to impose your secular
beliefs
on me correct?
But I don't.
Got 'cha.

And no, I don't.
I said I got 'cha - jeeze... :)

If you (and I don't mean you) don't want to help a woman friend get
an abortion, why...don't. Got it?
Ah, but if I were an OB/GYN, as I understand the law via a DIL who is
an OB/GYN (and I readily admit that may be state law, not Federal),
I'd be required to do that even if it were against my personal
religious belief.

I've not read of any doctors being disciplined by their local or state
medical boards for refusing to perform abortions, nor have I read of
any legal proceedings for the same reason. I have heard of some
pharmacists getting into a bit of trouble, nothing serious, for
refusing to prescribe the morning after pill.
Pharmacists running their own pharmacies should have the option of
carrying the medicines they choose.

Pharmacists and pharmacies are licensed for a specific purpose. They
are not permitted under their license to pick and choose which
prescriptions to fill. That would amount to practicing medicine
without a license. They are obligated by law to dispense whatever
prescription is written by a licensed doctor. Pharmacists are not
doctors and cannot supercede a Doctor's determination as to what the
patient should have or should not have. This has been through court in
several states. You can look the
results in each case if you wish.

Why are doctors given the freedom to not prescribe RU-486? I guess
diagnoses are subjective as well as the prescriptions. Even if the
diagnosis is the same the prescription can be different.

Probably for the same reason doctors have the right no not prescribe any
other medicine, including antibiotics for a kid with an earache.
