Pro-life pharmacy fails miserably.

[Thump553]

I fail to see what's unethical about selling cigarettes. People have a right to their vices, and I fail to see how being a busybody who tells others who to live is either ethical or moral.

My boss was a reformed smoker. He died of emphysema a decade or so later. Although our society permits selling of certain poisons not all of us feel thrilled to be actively engaged in enabling it. Just like not all OB/GYN do (legal) abortons or not all traders dealt in slaves when they were legal.

Maybe it the facilitation of those vices they find unethical (speaking from their point of view).

Free market in action. Shit happens but....

A half-dozen similar pharmacies in such places as Louisiana, Florida and Indiana are faring just fine, said Karen Brauer, president of Pharmacists for Life International, a coalition of pharmacists who also have moral issues with the full array of services that their profession entails.

Now, if government wasn't supporting Planned Parenthood, it would also go out of business.

Think about it....

(Frankly I don't care, whenever I need to get a prescription filled I go to the cheapest place)

Oh Mr Moderator - I'm so awed by your power, I bow down to your personal attack. You have thoroughly impressed us with insightful and witty response - you sure you aren't Jesus? Or like the zealots say - Jesus is in all of us, so maybe he's in you too? (hopefully he bought some rubbers at a non pro-life pharma)

At least THEY have the balls to do something they believe in. You sit here and post about how much you want someone else to fail because of their beliefs. AKA "You don't agree with me, you should be put to death".

I'm not a Christian and I can see how they are less of a failure than you are.

I'm guessing that the only way such a business model would succeed would be if there were no competition nearby.

Planned Parenthood helps prevent thousands of teen pregnancies per year by providing, easy affordable access to contraception. If the government weren't giving them money they'd be spending much more on welfare, prison cells, etc for the spawn of teenage babymommas who were too dumb not to get knocked up.

Strange the pharmacys near me don't sell porn or cigarettes and do fine.

Pro life has Failed . You all have failed. Now you shall reap the bounty of that failure .

I allow for the beliefs of others. I am not obliged to believe in any particular thing.

Did you notice something interesting you mentioned? This is billed as "Pro-Life pharmacy fails miserably", however from what you say it could be stated as "Pro-Life pharmacies do well" in the news story. Objectively if many do well and few fail, then that would be accurate.

It all depends on the bias of those telling the story. As far as I'm concerned they could have a giant elephant phallus on their sidewalk. I really don't care either way. I just get a kick out of how things are spun.

I get a kick out of it until the spin gets to crazy. In this case, it doesn't really get crazy...it's just one way of looking at it. Allowing for the beliefs of others only works when they do the same.

I guess you didn't read the article.

ONE "pro-life" pharmacy went out of business with many more still in business and doing fine.

It's a matter of tolerance perhaps. I can see both sides of this, and I agree this isn't a huge thing.

For me it isn't so much a difference of viewpoint but when things get stupid and mean. There are those I often disagree with, but aren't so... vapid. The ability to make a valid point without resorting to fifth grade tactics counts for a great deal in my mind. Oh it's fun to poke at one another (I do it on occasion) but using is as a main tactic of debate doesn't do it.

I'm not sure why this topic is even an issue, because it doesn't rise to the level of any significance. If the viewpoint of the story was as I had reversed it I'd think "Okey doke". I guess it comes down to what people consider important.

Obviously this place comes packed with agendas. That's how it is, but many are rather pointless and insipid. That's when I'll smack folks with the I-trout

Well their balls didn't last long because they are no longer doing it. So I disagree, they are a big failure.

What they shouldv'e done is gone after the Church rock/music market - go sell some narcotics to the retardo kids at all these concerts, and make mucho dinero. And then use that to pay Tim Tebow some more.

Does that make you feel special? Would you show us on the doll where the naughty pharmacist touched you?

Much easier to have their EZ Pass vacuumed out than be responsible eh?

But they failed because they started up between two already established pharmacies, not so much because of their beliefs. We all know that the loony left bust a nut every time someone with different beliefs than them fails, but did you even read the article?

See what I said about PP providing contraception and therefore helping to prevent a huge number of abortions. I wish that people would be responsible about birth control rather than terminating pregnancies, however given the choice between abortions and more parasites on welfare I'll choose the former any day.

Of course I read it . I don't care about a failed business. What matters is the Morality of PRO Life has failed. This includes more than the unborn.

"Packed" means a great deal. Exclusively? No.

Regarding whatever thread you are referring to, there is a forum where you can post your concerns. P&N isn't it.

Anti-Life Pharmacies will continue to dominate the Market.

but its the only pharmacy on that side of town and the owner is a great guy who is very nice.

Color me shocked that the RRR's couldn't save their own business model.

The business model works, but not is this specific case. I still think it's rather silly, but that's not the criteria which determines if a business is viable.

And yet, there are MANY people out there who would rather he fail and lose everything and impact the other people around him simply because they disagree with his personal beliefs.

No wonder there are people who empathize so well with terrorists. They both hate others for having a foundation that isn't what they think is right.
