Saletan, you're not a woman...
by aristonice

...perhaps you would feel differently if your access to certain drugs was threatened. As for some prescriptions being dangerous, let me make that decision myself as to what I'd like to ingest, thank you, along with my health care provider. (I suppose anti-depressants, aspirin, etc. don't carry any risks at all in your purview. Let's face it: everything's got side effects and people need to make informed choices about what they want to take, if anything.)

I also take it that you are not writing from a conservative, rural area. It's easy to say "just drive to the next pharmacy" or "just go to drugstore.com" as if a) everyone has access to a computer and b) can afford to wait for shipment. Not only that, but making this okay is just opening the door for other practices based on "religious beliefs." This is a drugstore, not a halal butcher.
