In a city where the Seattle government gave stickers to bars and clubs that say “No Concealed Carry Allowed,” there was a celebration because the Supreme Court decreed that it is unconstitutional for individual states to regulate health care and abortions. This came down because of the decision of a case in Texas.
This is the same Supreme Court that rewrote Obamacare twice. That same Supreme Court says that you can force and regulate a Christian pharmacist to sell an abortion pill.
If you’re a pharmacist, you’ve been told you that you need to violate your faith. Here’s what you should do — and I mean it. Charge $1 million per pill. Or $10 million. Or a billion. Keep one prescription on hand.
Or if you don’t like that idea, just say that you keep forgetting to keep the pill in stock. You can’t be prosecuted for forgetfulness.
We need to go back to the Supreme Court and say you can’t force us to sell something that we don’t want to sell.
