The law just affects those individuals who used the previous law to unjustly abridge the rights of others. Abortions are one thing; providing contraception or medical supplies associated with abortions is another.

I understand your concern, and I take it you’re pro-life. Seriously, nobody is ever forced to participate in an abortion. Current abortion laws allow people to opt out of participating in them. Anyone who tells you different is lying.

Keep on rockin, dude. You’re an example of a real Christian. :)

Or put up a sign in my store that says – Whites only because of my religious beliefs? Hell no.

I might make an exception for Abortion, as long as other capable facilities or doctors are reasonably available.

Adn for the religious right, my only comment is go get another job. I presume you dont have any problems eg painting my house , and we can negotiate as reasonable people whether you will work on it sunday as well, if I”m in a rush.

BTW the churches have the right to refuse to hire me – because I’m not of their religion. Thats fine also.

This is about pharmacists who refuse to sell birth control pills to unmarried women. Or as the article points out condoms to Gay men. Or if someone goes to see a doctor and they refuse them medical care because they are Gay. No Doctor is forced to preform abortions. They only time one would be is if they already preform abortions. Then they can not refuse to do one for, say a Muslim women if they are doing them for Christian women. If they do not preform abortions they will not be forced to do them.

The ‘conscience clause’ ALLOWS doctors and nurses NOT TO PERFORM abortions or other procedures they have religious objections to. It will not allow any pharmacist, clerk, EMS worker or cashier at CVS to refuse service, prescriptions, etc.

The law is very clear . Doctors and nurses are NOT forced to perform abortions. If so, please cite the link or case.

Baby steps.

And does “MO” stand for HOMO?

I have to tell you a secret, you can choose not to believe me. But the truth is that this site has more than 1,880,000 members and about 80% members are good looking in my estimation.
Unfortunately, STD rates soar worldwide and most people with STDs don’t even know that they have them. The government should grant more money for STD education to lower the rates of STD transmission.
