That is unbelievable! I could perhaps understand if she didn't want to participate in an abortion or something - but to refuse to dispense the contraceptive pill is ridiculous. Who does she think she is? Her job entails a certain degree of responsibility - she can't just pick and choose what medications to dispense - otherwise why be a pharmacist!

Part of many jobs - is sometimes doing what you don't want to do - religious objections shouldn't be a excuse!

It is Illegal in my eyes.
This Lady wanted it for Pain in any case.

It is no wonder more people now buy online.

Doesn't matter whether she wanted it for pain or not - she was fully entitled to use it and be dispensed the contraceptive pill for the purpose for which it is intended!

Yes Catholics or, I would guess, Muslims - although I may be wrong about that!

[Shasown]

Catholic Gits
For a start.

Nope I dont know of any papal bull(proclamation from the pope) saying catholic pharmacists cannot dispense some types of drugs. contraceptive or otherwise.

In fact the only decrees from the Vatican say Catholics should not use unnatural contraceptive methods. This lady was using a drug, that happens to be used for birth control to help ease her endometriosus.

Selling, dispensing or otherwise handling them of contraceptives wasnt ever taught to be against the church. otherwise the barber we used to use when I was a kid would have been well in the clag.in fact I remeber him saying just after he had finished on the parish priests hair "Sure you will not be wanting anything for the weekend this time round Father?"

[arista]

I think the woman who didn't serve her must have other mental issues tbh. Just does not add up

You What,

These Bible Freaks are in many places.


That Worker was using the Bible to stop that Lady
getting what she needed.

[Shasown]

Yes Catholics or, I would guess, Muslims - although I may be wrong about that!

Depends on the school of Islam they follow, in most contraception is allowed for valid reasons, one of them being health. The only agreed case where contraception should not be used is if the decision is delay children is based on finances, because the Muslims believe god will provide.

I presume the woman has no choice in such matters - and can't choose when she is ready to have a baby! She probably can't choose whether she wants sex or not - if married!

Yes, but she is an extreme example.

[Shasown]

Would love to be a fly on the wall watching them debate this garbage if a complaint is actually made:

The spokesman said:'While the Code of Ethics and Standards does not require a pharmacist to provide a service that is contrary to their religious or moral beliefs.

Any attempt by a pharmacist to impose their beliefs on a member of the public seeking their professional guidance, or a failure to have systems in place to advise of alternative sources for the service required, would be of great concern to the RPSGB and could form the basis of a complaint of professional misconduct.'

Is telling her to come back when someone else is on, sufficient?

[Shasown]

I presume the woman has no choice in such matters - and can't choose when she is ready to have a baby! She probably can't choose whether she wants sex or not - if married!

Again depends on the school in some cases a man is to honour a wifes wishes but a wife is to obey her husband etc...

[arista]

Yes, but she is an extreme example.


OK
but it is not a Mental Issue.


It's Bible Freaks

[Enid]

A pharmaceuticals company has launched an investigation after a woman was refused the contraceptive pill because it was against the pharmacist's religion to give it to her.

Janine Deeley was turned away by the female chemist at Lloyds pharmacy in Duke Street, Sheffield, when she went to pick up her routine prescription of the medication.

The mother-of-two was taken into a private room by the employee and told she would not be given the tablets on religious grounds but she could come back the next day when a different pharmacist was working and pick them up.

Ms Deeley, 38, of Wybourn, said she was furious she was not allowed her prescription, especially because she used it to treat endometriosis and not as a method of birth control.

She told the Sheffield Star: "I shouldn't have to explain myself to her.

"I was so angry I didn't really know what to do."

Ms Deeley also said she was worried teenagers like her two daughters, Carlie, 18, and 14-year-old Lauren, might not be able to protect against pregnancy if faced with such issues.

She added: "There's a lot of things in society you might not like or agree with, but you can't do anything about them."

A spokeswoman for Lloyds pharmacy said she was not aware which religion the pharmacist belonged to and an investigation into Ms Deeley's complaint had been launched.

She said: "Lloyds pharmacy is very sorry that Ms Deeley was refused supply of her prescribed contraceptive pill at our Duke Street pharmacy. We have launched an investigation into the incident and been in contact with her to apologise for any distress and inconvenience caused."

This incident is similar to one I heard of several years ago, before the end of the apartheid regime in South Africa where there was segregation and white minority rule. During that time there were calls for sanctions against South Africa, but Mrs Thatcher refused point blank to carry them out.

In this case, in the uk a supermarket checkout operator refused point blank to sell to a customer a grapefruit because it was from South Africa and she deeply believed that there should be a boycott of all South African goods.

Moving on to today and religion, I understand that in the medical profession there is a get out clause so professionals can opt out of abortion proceses on grounds of concience

I am wondering if this pharmacist believed they had the same rights here

The pharmacist does have similar rights.

The Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain (RPSGB) said the pharmacist was acting within her rights.

The spokesman said:'While the Code of Ethics and Standards does not require a pharmacist to provide a service that is contrary to their religious or moral beliefs, any attempt by a pharmacist to impose their beliefs on a member of the public seeking their professional guidance, or a failure to have systems in place to advise of alternative sources for the service required, would be of great concern to the RPSGB and could form the basis of a complaint of professional misconduct

The only considerations are when denying to serve the woman, did the pharmacist give sufficient information about other times or places where the women could be served and have her prescription filled? Was the pharmacist imposing her religious belief on the woman?

[Crimson Dynamo]

I would suggest that the story is more about the woman involved than a story about religion..

Yes and no.

Yes most people don't do everyithing their religions say they should or shouldn't, like most people I know are catholics and contraception is against the religion but most of them use it anyway.

But No because as It is against some religions beliefs, in her mind she is breaking her religions rules by handing over contraceptives.

So, you are therefore saying that people should just pick and chose which religious rules they should or should not follow?

I would say If it's against your religion then don't be a pharmacist

I was refused by the Catholic church to be my girl's sister's son's godparent. Her sister wanted us but I'm an aethiest - at the christening I just stood at the back of the church while my girl became godmum.

We know that her stance has no biblical basis

We know that all other Catholic pharmacists dish out the pills in question with no problem

Well, you're assuming that she might be pissed of with the woman in question but I got the impression from reading the article that the woman had never even seen her in there before., so I would assume it's because she believes that she is following her religions rules so therefore I think her church owe it to her to tell her that infact she is not breaking any rules by selling contraceptives, it may just save her job and prevent similar occurances happening in the future, it's a win/win thing to do by telling her that surely!

She was filling in for someone it said, alot of people probably wouldn't have gone to the paper or complained about it probably just grumbled about it and went else where or maybe were really embarassed about it?

[Shasown]

It would be interesting to know what the Catholic churches response to it would be though!

Probably it is not the policy of the Catholic Church to impose their beliefs on non catholics, it is a matter of conscience for the individual concerned, if she is a Catholic.

The drugs in question while being a birth control pill also reduce the symptoms of endromiotisis, which the patient says she has, one of the symptoms of which can be very painful periods. By regulating and reducing the period, using the hormones in certain makes of pill, any pain is also regulated and reduced in severity, longevity and recurrence. And a pharmacist can be expected to know that

So this pharmacist was in fact simply preventing what in effect was a pain killer from being used, in this womans case.

It said she is not required to *provide a service *contrary to religious or moral beliefs.
