Unplanned pregnancies don't just happen with the impoverished, it happens with college girls too. <br /><br />I'd love to ask those college girls: "How embarassing is it to have an unplanned baby? Is it better or worse than picking up those free pills?"Just a little snarkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12682886206059221096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793561531129775733.post-50078697730353177872010-03-28T16:56:34.372-07:002010-03-28T16:56:34.372-07:00The teenage pregnancy rate in the United States is...The teenage pregnancy rate in the United States is nothing sort of alarming!

I would NEVER refuse to fill a birth control for a person because of some held belief unless it was some constitutionally protected virtue or it was illegal. If its a legal prescription issued within the guidelines by the state and federal govt then I am going to fill it at the request of the patient. My beliefs are not of paramount importance here. My company stocks and sells BC. I dispense BC. I have taken BC. I dont' have the right to place my values on the head of another person if I dont agree with their beliefs. That being said however, the only prescriptions I have an issue with are those for assisted suicide. i didn't sign on as a pharmacist to kill people, even if they want to kill themselves. And since it is a protected by law, I am covered. Call it a double standard if you will.Pharmacy chicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793561531129775733.post-85098437196471005472010-03-23T08:33:35.910-07:002010-03-23T08:33:35.910-07:00The root of the problem is Dads who don't stic...The root of the problem is Dads who don't stick around. The cause of that is a liberal, "me first" society that has made it acceptable to make babies outside of marriage and government agencies that pay women for reproducing. <br /><br />Who cares about marriage when its so easy to get divorced? You often hear, "I have to think of myself", but there is no Self in marriage. Both individuals in a marriage must put their "selves" secondary to the marriage. Marriage is the creation of a single entity without which there is no family, no home and no security. As long as the attitude remains that marriage is disposable we will continue to have disposable babies. We have children growing up with no fathers, disjointed families and paid surrogates as defacto parents. Sadly, I'm sure it will get worse before it gets better.<br /><br />@phat... be careful. thinking about babies can make you pregnant. ;)was1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793561531129775733.post-24965791975326562572010-03-22T19:16:58.118-07:002010-03-22T19:16:58.118-07:00My wife is slowly pushing for kids, but I've b...My wife is slowly pushing for kids, but I've been struggling to get her to understand that I want to wait until I'm nearly done with pharmacy school. I figure it won't be fair to her or the kids with the amount of studying I need to do. I grew up without a father and don't want my kids to do so as well.Phatheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10536724196086259665noreply@blogger.com
