Pandagon with an excellent essay on pharmicists who pick-and-choose which medications are ethical:
People who want to deprive women of contraceptives claim the moral high ground, but they are actually deeply immoral. It’s immoral to force pregnancy on someone who doesn’t want it. It’s immoral to add stress to marriage, especially in this day and age when marriages are already under strain for economic reasons. It’s immoral to view other people’s bodies as objects to play out your power fantasies on, as the Pharmacists for Life like to do.
What I’d like to know is whether there’s one case of a man being denied his Oxycontin by a pharmacist on moral grounds.
What I’d also like to know is whether anyone has noticed that these people are acting outside of their code of ethics, and whether their state licensing boards use any of the same wording.
