David Rokosz, the Apothecary's pharmacist-owner, knows the women are likely to head down the street to his competitor in the eastern Indiana city. But he won't dispense contraception or emergency contraception himself.

"I'm not standing in judgment over anyone, nor do I preach to anyone," said Rokosz, who will give contraceptives to patients taking them for medical reasons. "This is a sensitive issue."

Personally the wife doesn't use anything cause well, I took care of that problem after the twins. I still don't think the pharmacist should be able to turn down filling your prescription. Just my two cents, how do you feel? If you care.

I feel there is a difference between the 'morning after' pill and birth control pills.

Morning after is equal to an abortion if a child was concieved already.
I don't agree with that.

However, birth control is preventing an unwanted pregnancy. Same as using a condom or spermicide. I don't have a problem with that.

BTW, I don't have to worry about babies either.. Roger took care of that after we had Kee.

Took me a while to think about this one...

I do not agree that a pharmacy should be allowed to not dispense a drug due to their own beliefs.

As far as birth control and forms of it... I can not really comment. There are many different reasons people need to use birth control. I'm not completely against the morning after pill, there are already to many unwanted babies in this world, why have more. To me, it all depends on the circumstances, which there can be many different ones. ;)
