A comment from this article from today's NY Times.
"This [article] is why "conscience laws" about abortion and birth control were always a terrible idea--they set the precedent that you can use your religion to avoid doing your job and to discriminate against people. Hey, look, it was a bad idea!
If you don't want to dispense legally prescribed medicine, don't be a pharmacist. If you don't want to perform abortions, don't be an OBGYN or a doctor in an ER. If you don't want to marry gay people, don't be an official who hands out marriage licenses. If your religion is going to get in the way of DOING YOUR JOB, then find another job. It is not society's place to accommodate your bigotry."
Couldn't have said it better myself. Check your religion at the door!
