BTW--what the frick is an "oath" if you can change the terms at will? And if there is some so-called "oath" it sure as heck ain't the Hippocratic Oath as it no longer reflects those ideals.

Of course, these "pro-life" pharmacies will not be stocking drugs for erectile dysfunction, either - right??

Does that make sense?

I am sure it does to those who think it is a wonderful part of life to slaughter their offspring w/o repercussions

So long as Planned Parenthood can market their Pro-Choice beliefs, it's only fair that other people be allowed to market their beliefs too.

PP does not market their beliefs and certainly does not impose them on anyone.

Offering abortions is marketing the Pro-Choice belief: That elective abortion is a viable option and should be available for anyone who wants one. How you could see offering abortions as anything other than active support of the Pro-Choice view is beyond me.

Setting aside the various arguments for and against abortion, we need to first be honest here. You know that what I've said is true. I could be in favor of abortion and claim the same thing and it would be no more fact then than it is fact now.

Offering abortions is active support of the Pro-Choice belief system.

As for anyone "imposing" beliefs....are you aware that there are many PP facilities which do not offer abortions? If an abortion is desired, such a PP facility refers the woman to another facility which does perform abortions.

Oh the humanity!

How is that PP facility morally different than a pharmacy who says "we don't fill that prescription here, you'll have to go to _______"?

By your logic then offering chemo-therapy is supportive of cancer.
You are confusing not being equipped to perform something with not willing to carry a particular medication based on a set of beliefs.

Jerry

I can play that game too: You are confusing the healthy function of a woman's reproductive system when it develops a child with the unhealthy function of malfunctioning cells when they develop into tumors.

Sophistry will get you no where.

Cancer is an illness, pregnancy is not an illness.

What moral difference is there between "We don't perform abortions here, you'll need to go to ____" and "We don't fill those medications here, you'll need to go to _____"?

What provable damage does the woman suffer in the first example that she does not suffer in the second?
