Which rights are more important?
I have been hearing about an increasing number of Phaimacists refusing to sell birth control claiming it is against god's will. Some women really need it because pregnancy would mean a much harder life for themselves and for the possible child. THose who need birth control are not necessarily 'sinners'; some of them are married women who don't want to haave children for one reason or another. So whose rights are more important? Do the women's rights count because not having the pills could violate their right to health and their choices of t heir own bodies and families? Or is it the Pharmacists right to religious expression? I personally believe that a pharmacist has duties to those he serves and therefore, by choosing that profession, does not have the right to withhold birth control. I realize that women can go to other pharmacies, but it does not seem to me that pharmacists can pick and choose their medications. It sets a bad precedent for other medications they might not agree with or trust.

Well this isnt really an answer to the question, I'm just throwing another idea out there. What about the rights of the "child"? Yes, we are discussion preventative methods and said "child" hasn't even come into being, but they're stifling that potential. How much would it suck if your parents didn't even give you an opportunity at life? well...not that you would know, but it's the principle of the thing.
PS these arent actually my opinions on the subject, I just wanted to give some food for thought
