As The Hill reports, “A jury in Minnesota ruled on Friday that a pharmacist did not commit discrimination when he did not fill an emergency contraception prescription for a woman after her prior contraceptive method failed, according to the gender advocacy group Gender Justice. A jury in Aitkin County found that a pharmacist’s decision not to provide an emergency contraception prescription to plaintiff Andrea Anderson after citing his ‘beliefs’ did not constitute discrimination. According to court documents, Anderson went to the only pharmacy located in her town to retrieve a prescription of emergency contraception after another method failed, but the pharmacist there rejected her request.”
Wow! “Beliefs” are now an excuse to discriminate. These jurors really are f***ing clueless. They believe that they’re deciding on just this one case, but in reality, they have signaled to others in the state that one can merely claim “beliefs” as a justification to discriminate. This is dangerous, especially with the current version of SCOTUS, which, if it ever heard one of these such challenges, would side with a person’s “beliefs.” Of course, the subtext is Christian beliefs. Other beliefs don’t count because only Christianity — puritanical Christianity, to be precise — is deeply rooted in America’s history and traditions.
The verdict in this Minnesota case is particularly egregious because it involves the only pharmacist in, apparently, the area of butt f*** Egypt. In a large city or town, one could argue an inconvenience by going to another close-by pharmacy for service. Still, in instances where one person can basically impose their values and “beliefs” on another, and a person has no recourse, then this becomes a serious, serious problem. It becomes defacto religious tyranny. Apparently, the jurors in this rural backwater are perfectly fine with such religious commandments.
What happens when a pharmacist refuses to dispense HIV medication because of their “beliefs” or to serve a mixed-race couple because of their “beliefs” or a Black person refuses to serve a white person because of “beliefs?” God forbid! You know that whitey would be all up in arms claiming reverse discrimination — naturally. If people who work in the public domain cannot serve everyone without discriminating, then they should find another line of work; they should not impose their “beliefs” on others. But that’s not what happened in Minnesota. This is the road we’re going down, f***tards. Mark my words! Just watch! The First Amendment is going to become the law of the land. Everything in the name of religious liberty — especially legalized discrimination. Welcome to stupid America! Not Christian, no service! WASPs only!
