The Wave of the Future-Freedom Lost?

How can a state require any business to carry anything? Does not the constitution allow Wal Mart to sell what they want and not sell what they don't want?

 

Ther are limits. I doubt the US government would allow them to sell plutonium to Iran.

Pharmaceuticals are well-regulated. Most states' pharmacy (or similar) boards have at least some kind requirement upon pharmacies to carry all commonly sold perscription products. One of the main purposes is to prevent "selective" perscription filling for stores that have pharmacy services. For example, directing a patient that they don't carry "that" drug, but carry a nonprescription version over the counter, which, btw, just happens to be manufactured by the retailer you're visiting. This requirement also guarantees to some extent that you can go to any one pharmacy and get all of yoru prescriptions filled, instead of having to go to multiple pharmacy locations.

Then they shouldn't be selling, aspirin, ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil, etc.), or naproxen sodium (Alleve). Of, for that matter, any products with caffiene. Even manyt herbal dietary supplements have a high rate of causing miscarriage.

 

I have three kids, does that count as being expert?


I remember well the staunch admonishments of what to completely avoid during pregnancy. Aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen sodium, greatly increase the risk of miscarriage. High enough doses will practically guarantee a miscarriage in the first few weeks of pregnancy. But those high doses also have significant side effects as well, which is why they're not recommended for inducing a miscarriage. Caffiene intake also increases the risk of miscarriage. Many rather benign looking herbal supplements do so likewise. It is a matter of history that herbal remedies were used in ancient times to miscarry, with reasonable effectiveness. Anyone who is pregnant or planning on becoming pregnant should avoid all these things completely.

Anyhoo, you make a good point about the issue of purpose. But a good case can be made for the difference between an abortion and the "morning after" pill, as ther're often called. The pill uses the hormones estrogen and progestin (which are normally found in the body). The pill delays ovulation and prevents fertilization. If fertilization has occurred, it inhibits implantation. The pill does not affect an existing pregnancy.

Where one stands on this isse is based on whether one feels that life begins at conception or implantation. Either way, this is not a scriptural issue, but a personal conviction issue. I don't think there is anyone here who would consider terminating of a pregnancy as appropriate for the Christian. The MA pill does not terminate a pregnancy. If a pharmacy carries birth control pills, then it is no less ethical to carry the MA pill.

 

I agree with OR. At the point of conception, there is an entity with unique DNA; that should have ended any debate about termination, even from a purely biological view (without considering theology).

Instead, what we have are judicial decrees based on a mixture of junk science, selfishness, and desires to retain sinful lifestyles, devoid of any true ethics.

 

On the other hand, God said, "The life is in the blood."

 

take a bald eagle egg and see what happens. Or even a feather.

 

The fertilized human egg is a living human baby. Unless some external influence inhibits or prevents its growth to full maturity, it will emerge from its mother's womb as a human baby. It will not be born as a cucumber, squash, octopus, bald eagle or anything other than a baby. It is a baby. Anything that stops this process causes the death of a human being. If it is done wilfully, then it is murder.

Thank you Wal Mart FDA and Mr. Rumsfeld.

Poncho,
Common table salt is made up of sodium and chloride.

Both of them are deadly poison.

 

OK then... the zygote isn't a baby... you have just bought enough time to perform a dnz... but not enough for abortionists enabled by liberal politicians and voters to stop beating hearts (about 3 weeks after conception).

 

Pointing to legitimate medicines as a justification for forcing the morning after pill on a pharmacy is ridiculous.

Intended purpose is key.

If there was a "kill the inconvenient spouse/child" drug... would WalMart have to sell it too?
