This world's crazy, give me the gun. -- P.J. Harvey

I still have to scratch my head at the calling of people who don't want babies slaughtered extremeists. I would think that trying to make a choice after a behavior is kind of strange, but saying that people who don't want children aborted is extreme just doesn't really make sense.

And "Planned Parenthood Rocks?" That is like saying the electric chair rocks. It just comes off as crass.

One of the great non sequiturs of the left is that, if the free market doesn't work perfectly, then it doesn't work at all-- and the government should step in.

Not that John Paul II, who I miss and admired, would've said different. Oh well, can't win them all.

 But they believe it cause an abortion, which their religion is against.  Quite frankly I don't care if they worship the Purple Monkey God.  If as a  private business they don't want to sell something I'll support that.

The nature of birth control or if Plan B causes an abortion.  My argument is for the right of Storman's to operate their business as they see fit.  Personally I don't think Plan B causes abortion.  But I support Storman's right not to sell it.

I'm curious to see the answers from those in that other camp, but please realize not every Pro-Lifer believes every sperm is sacred.

Storman's has the right to practice their religion freely, their pharmacy does not provide on the spot life saving techniques.  I already told you that I felt if there were limited access to pharmacies in this area then Storman's would have the obligation to carry Plan B.

The other point I make is that one does not surrender rights already in existence merely because they seek to engage in business.  If Storman's thought operating their pharmacy on Sunday was a violation of their religion and they closed Ralphs and Bayview every Sunday would you demand they open up on Sunday?  Would you demand they give up their religious rights in order to keep the store open that day?

Quite frankly given as there are plenty of other options for Plan B in this area, why give a tinker's damn about one person?

The constitution means nothing.  By your argument the state could require someone not do drive to certain churches upon issuance of a driver's license.  After all the driver's license is purely voluntary.  So let's put restrictions on it that violate a person's basic, fundemental human and constitutional rights.

Yes, let's let the courts decide.

I started it to get the ball rolling in this arena. This thread has everything to do with abortion.

Science is great. If science is applied to many religions it will make those religions seem like a fairytale. We still have the freedom to practice a religion in this country. If a certain faith believes that Plan B is an abortion drug, I think they should have the right to deny dispensing it. Science tells us creationism is a load of crap....so let's just throw out the bible and outlaw parents teaching their children about Adam and Eve, what do you say Larry?

Want to answer my initial question now? You already said it was fair, give it a shot :)

Getting away from the Bible, I read somewhere that many geneticists believe that we are all at least 50-generations related to each other. Meaning, at best you and your spouse are 47th Cousins. Even in our society's anti-incest norms few, if any, would get squeamish over that info. Now, imagine your child and their spouse turned out to be 35th Cousins. Still nothing to worry about, but now we're getting closer. Eventually what happens is somebody marries an 8th Cousin (how many of us actually knows who shares the same Great(times six)-Grandparent with us?) because many times people marry within their culture. You get unknowingly close enough and there's risk for things like Hemophilia, Tay-Sachs, etc.
