Living like a big kid.

“I don’t even know where to begin. “Conscience rights?” The fuck? I am morally opposed to both the war in Afghanistan and paying for Dick Cheney’s steampunk heart, but I’m not within my rights to refuse to pay taxes. Likewise, it’s absurd to suggest that medical professionals somehow have a right to not do their jobs. I’m afraid of needles; can I become a nurse who sits at the front desk filing her nails all day and not drawing any blood?

People who become pharmacists but refuse to fill prescriptions for birth control or the morning after pill (or anything else related to wanton women’s harlotry) because God sez they shouldn’t have to are like pilots who refuse to fly over bodies of water because they’re pretty sure Poseidon is mad at them. Their moral qualms are not my problem.

Given the strong back lash from the religious and pro-life community, Ryan isn’t betting the recommendation will pass. Furthermore, “I’m assuming that if the Obama admin is­tra tion puts its stamp of approval on these recommendations, thus mandating that tax­pay foot the bill for The Pill, it will unleash a wave of crazy screeching Bachmannalia and the streets will run red, white, and blue, with the blood of misspelled protest signs.”
