TV News Baby Killers Harass Catholic Pharmacist With a Conscience

(Now there's a headline you won't see anywhere else. How about "Holy Crap! We're Actually Starting to Fight Back"?)


Battling the forces of the Anti-Christ in Milwaukee
(One pharmacy at a time...)



A WISN 12 News investigation has discovered that a Milwaukee-area pharmacist has refused to fill prescriptions for women citing religious reasons.
A Milwaukee mother of six walked into a north side Walgreens with a prescription for the so-called morning after pill.
The woman, who 12 News is not identifying, said it was a difficult decision.
"Financially, I wouldn't be able to afford having another child," Jane Doe said.
She asked 12 News to disguise her identity -- afraid of backlash from those who might judge her.
"I mean, I guess I was desperate," Doe said.

Doctors prescribe the pill to prevent pregnancy. It should be taken within 72 hours of conception.
"It was right after New Year's weekend. I got it as soon as I could," Doe said.
But the pharmacist refused to fill her prescription.
"She just told me that she will not fill it. That she's Catholic, and it's murder," Doe said.

Yippee!

Then, she said, before a crowded waiting area, the pharmacist berated her.
"'You're a murderer. I will not help you kill this baby. I will not have the blood on my hands,'" Doe said. "I tried to explain to her that it's emergency contraceptives, that it's not an abortion pill. She then snatched the form from me, that the prescription was attached to, telling me the paper was full of lies, and she won't be a part of it. I was crying, shaking, upset, so embarrassed. I wanted to run out of the store and hope nobody else could get a good look at me."

Wait for it.

"So, did you ever get your emergency contraceptives?" 12 News Senior Investigative Reporter Colleen Henry asked.
"No, I never received that one," Doe said.
"And you became pregnant?" Henry asked.

Wait for it.

"I did become pregnant, and I had to terminate the pregnancy. It was very hard. And I didn't want to be what she called me. But that's what I ended up being," Doe said.

There you have it. The means may be different, but the end is the same. May God have mercy on her soul and the soul of her child.

Her lawyer said Walgreens failed to ensure its female customers have the same access to reproductive health care as men.
"Condoms are sold there, very easily, very accessible. Viagra ... and I suspect there is no situation where that pharmacist has said to a man, 'I think there's something wrong in you taking Viagra,'" attorney Tricia Knight said.

Huh? Viagra? What the...? Oh, a lawyer is speaking now. Time to unthink. (BTW, princess, Viagra is not a contraceptive. It is designed to help men unfortunate enough to marry harpies like you to do their conjugal duties. And I'll bet if those condoms were behind the counter, our intrepid Catholic heroine would refuse to sell them too.)


WISN 12 News went to Long to ask about the woman's complaint.
"She said that you refused to fill her morning after pill prescription, that you called her a baby-killer, and said you didn't want blood on your hands," Henry stated.
"No, I'm sure I didn't say that. No, I'm quite positive I wouldn't say that," Long responded.
"Do you fill prescriptions for the morning after pill?" Henry asked.
"No," Long said.
"Is that for religious reasons?" Henry asked.
"Yes," Long answered.
Walgreens policy allows pharmacists to refuse to dispense drugs they object to.

Bravo Long! Bravo Walgreens!

"It's like she's trying to play God or something," Doe said.

But the woman believes Walgreens' policy is selling women short.

"What's been the hardest thing for you in all of this?" Henry asked.

"Having to have an abortion. I feel like it didn't have to get to that point. It could have been prevented. That's what I was attempting to do," Doe said.

Cognitive dissonance! If you kill your child a couple of hours or days after conception, everything is cool. But if you wait a while longer before you kill, then it's a painful tragedy, emotional trauma, and fodder for some ambulance chaser.
Somebody needs to invent an incubator that can handle kids who are eight and one-half months premature. That'll fix it.

A state lawmaker has introduced a bill to give pharmacists a so-called conscience clause -- legal protection for refusing to dispense a prescription. It would be the same way the law protects doctors who opt out of procedures they find immoral.

That will do. Temporarily.
