Slog - Comments on Has Target Reversed Itself? http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/01/has_target_reve A few months back Target was allowing its pharmacists to refuse to dispense emergency contraception if it was against their religious beliefs—and Target claimed, outrageously, the they were acting in accordance with the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which, according to Target, gave all of their employees the right to discriminate based on their religious beliefs. It was a new and novel—and completely bullshit—interpretation of the Civil Rights Act. Well, a reader just sent this story in: Target pharmacist fired for refusing 'morning-after' prescription ST. LOUIS — A suburban St. Louis pharmacist filed a federal complaint after being fired from a...

Why are these people pharmacists if they can't do their jobs? If you're too religious (read: stupid) to do your job, do something else that won't cause you to have some sort of ridiculous moral dilemma every time a prescription comes in.

I'm a vegetarian. If for some reason, I took leave of my senses to go work at McDonald's, and refused to work with/serve all meat products (so everything in the place, because they can't stop cooking in beef tallow) I would expect to be fired for not doing the job I was hired to do.

I'm glad to hear Target has come to its senses. I don't want to have to write them any more letters!

Junkies have problems geting needles at some drug stores for the same reason. In this state, needles are not a prescription item. But one time my friend who is a user was refused needles at Bartells due to the deciion of the helper who did not like selling needles to junkies.

Shitty stuff from that profession.

Absolutely ridiculous.
