Provided for everyone
Law’s that prohibit you from

Your opinions shouldn’t come
into play with work
Yes
• Everyone has their own believes in the world not
everyone is going to agree with the same thing.
When you choose a healthcare provider you base
it off their education, recommendations, and
beliefs and values. These patients know what
they are getting into before they go to this
doctor.
• You research anything before you do it right? If
you go somewhere and you don’t like what you
see your not going to choose that place.
NO
Pharmacists should fill every type of prescription even
if it is against their believe. Especially in an area where
there is only one pharmacists.
It is the persons choice whether they want to take
the pill or not. Even if the pill leads them to death.
Emergency pills are a back-up plan if a lady wants the
day after pill she should be allowed to get it even if
the pharmacists is against it.
Think about it?
What happens if a person lives in a small area with only one pharmacists, where would
they go to get their need prescription filled?
What happens if a pharmacists denies a women on their refill for birth control and
later the women becomes pregnant and decides to get an abortion?
Should your personal life effect someone’s else's?
Is this a place where you want to live knowing you have know rights or the
government takes over your life?
Lastly what if a person who has AIDS and is HIV positive is denied their prescription
should they be allowed to suffer?
