A federal judge dismissed a Roman Catholic pharmacist's claim that he was fired by Wal-Mart Stores Inc. for refusing to fill birth-control prescriptions and that the dismissal violated his religious freedom.The ruling Thursday said Wal-Mart had accommodated Neil Noesen's religious opposition to birth control by having other pharmacists fill prescriptions. But U.S. District Judge John Shabaz said Noesen, 32, went too far by obstructing service for those customers.
The morning after pill which is basically an abortion in a capsule is another growing controversy as many pharmacists across the country are refusing to handle it because of moral, and religous beliefs. How Walmart, and other companies will handle this is not uncertain, if you work for them you follow their rules, and if you don't you need to find another place to work.
The FDA is investigating numerous health problems associated with the pill which basically cause the body to have a miscarriage.
At Medequote we really don't have a proffesional opinion regarding these drugs since they are not covered by health plans anyway, but we advise you to be very careful with any medication which can cause a violent enough reaction to cause a miscarriage. The long term benefits can't be good for you. Remember the drug companies want to sell this product to make a profit for their executives and major stock holders, your long term health is of little consequence to them.
Medications of course are a good thing, but unneccesary lifestyle drugs just fuel the rise of health care cost's.
