Just made the Top 10 List

"I think a person has a right to not do a job if it violates his religious beliefs--or for any reason. To believe otherwise is to believe in slavery."

SLAVERY!!!

That made the top 10 things of most ridiculous things I've ever heard.

Does "anonymous" realize what slavery was? The sometimes forceful removal of one from their native country or home to perform manual labor with no rights, no freedoms, no benefits and sure as hell no pay all to benefit another person who "owns" them. Sometimes trading that person for another piece of property.

A pharmacist chooses their career. They spend much of their adult life choosing to go to school, choosing to pay for that school, choosing to study all to do their chosen job. No one forced them at young age to don a white coat and count pills!!! Don't like counting pills are providing pre-packaged boxes... then quit, go be a preacher.

SLAVERY!!! Just absoutley a ridiculous way to justify this thought.

Perhaps birth control in and of itself is not a right. But a person's "right" to take a pill to prolong their life from Cancer or protect themselves from getting pregnant, I believe, takes precedence in this case.

Saying a person's "Freedom of Religion", which in this case is Christianity, allows a pharmacist to deny another person of items, effectively pushing their religion upon another. Where in fact the "Freedom to Religion" is freedom to practice any or no religion.

It could be liken to a Mormon coming to my door, forcing their way into my home and pushing their religion on me. Not going to happen. They have their the freedom to exercise their religion and freedom of speech telling me about their religion but can't force it on me. I have the right to protect my home and my right to privacy.
