The left of this country is the party of the people (or so they claim), they used to be the fighters for the individual to maintain their freedom of choice even while working. They seem to have gotten distracted, because if it were up to Barbara Boxer (D-Cali.) the Government would be able to demand that your company sell a certain product and that it doesn’t matter what you as an individual thinks.

Boxer is introducing bills that would force pharmacists to sell birth- control pills and emergency-contraception pills such as RU-486 and Plan B, even if the pharmacist is morally opposed to one of these forms of birth control.

We live in a Free Market Economy folks, and I as well as I know most of you, don’t want the government telling me or my business what we have to sell. If I’m running a Pharmacy and I am morally opposed to selling birth control, I DON’T HAVE TO. End of story. If a customer were to come into said store and find that we do not sell the product she is looking for, she has the freedom to leave and look elsewhere.

There have been reports of pharmacies refusing to return the prescriptions or giving the bearer a lecture on their moral decision. But even if these reports were true, why make it a federal matter? It’s completely up to the customer to haul the pharmacy into court or not.

The American Pharmacists Association has had a “conscience clause” since 1998 that allows pharmacists not to dispense prescriptions on moral grounds, The conscience clause also allows pharmacists who object to dispensing birth control, RU-486 or Plan B from doing so.

If Boxer and Gang have their way, owning a company could soon become VERY chaotic. Imagine being the owner of a pharmacy and having to carry anything your customers desire, deny them a product, the government hauls you in. Not on my watch!
