How about it? The Catholic church is in the business of being

judgemental.
By virtue of your constitution and ours, they have the right. Of course,
in Canada, we've mostly taken away their right to run hospitals too,

partly
for this sort of reason. We now have a right to get "morning after" pills
without a prescription. I can see a justification for a pharmacist to
refuse to sell it in that case - I wouldn't like it, but I can see their
point - but I can't countenance a pharmacist interfering in a decision

made
between a patient and a doctor. If they're going to second guess the
doctor, they should go to medical school. Doctor's aren't allowed to
dispense pills (for the most part) and pharmacists aren't allowed to play
doctor.

Walmart, I felt the pharmacist was being judgemental last week when I
bought a hot-water bottle. I can't figure out _why_ those need to be kept
behind the counter... Just thinking about what he thought I might be
planning to do with it scares me.
