So how's he being inconsistent? Do you know he dispensed it to someone else that said they were pregnant? Because that's the only way he would be inconsistent here.

What is political about having a miscarriage?

I don't know that he is

He would be inconsistent if he dispensed it to anyone if his justification is that he just didn't believe her.

One would think this could be cleared up by calling the doctor.


It could. It also takes a lot of time. It could be after hours. Much easier to decline and move on with the rest of your busy day. And even then, it's still his right to decline if he wants to.

You know what else takes a lot of time? Driving to another pharmacy.

He did believe her, she said she was pregnant. I'm not sure what you're driving at here. It's his right, consistent or not regardless.

Sure. It's his call to declime whoever he wants to. That doesnt make the decision ethical.

If it was based on ethical grounds he would have found out the facts first before making a decision. Instead he ran with his gut and was wrong.

Legally its fine, but lets not pretend he did what he could to make a good judgement. Like you said it was easier to just say no and move along.

Ok fine, let's force medical practitioners to do things they don't agree with. Happy now?

I'm assuming she clarified the state of the pregnancy.

Again. No one is arguing otherwise. You don't need to bring this up again.

A retail pharmacist has no time for that.

I guess not. Now the pharmacist has plenty of airtime instead.

Go back and read the 1st few pages then.

Not sure what y'all are complaining about. He didn't do anything wrong, she even admitted it. There's really nothing more to the story.

Are any of those posters still commenting right now? Not sure how that is relevant.

I'm not complaining. I just wondered aloud if he denied everyone with this medicine, as that would be the only way he would be consistent with his beliefs.

Eta2- she was telling the truth when she said she was pregnant (before the miscarriage)


You serious? The question was phrased that way in the article because the article is stating that the pharmacist asked if she was pregnant at the time.

He didn’t ask her, “Were you pregnant?” He asked, “Are you pregnant?”

Why even carry it? It just induces severe contractions right? What are it's other uses than to terminate pregnancy?

His belief is to not dispense it to a pregnant woman. Unless he does other than that, he's being consistent. It's that simple.
