    private citizens never faced punishment for not recognizing same-sex marriages in their private lives. they want private citizens to be able to enforce their opinions in the public square. Like that idiot pharmacist wanting to not fulfill birth control orders. eff them all.

      Nothing stops that pharmacist from doing that though, its a company policy that would allow or prevent it.

      If the company policy is they can’t refuse then they can refuse and lose their job.

      For a small owner run business it could be different though like we wont make you a wedding cake.

        I very much doubt this. there are a lot of regulations in that industry and you can’t have pharmacists or pharmacies just willy nilly deciding to not fill prescriptions.

          The pharmacy no, the pharmacists absolutely, they’ll just lose their job.

          This bill is about the individual, so it doesn’t really change anything in this example.

            that seems reveresed but even then I have doubt. pharmacies should have plenty of regulation and pharmacist is one of those jobs where you have to be licensed. It kinda sounds like at the end you are agreeing with my statement though that private citizens have never been blocked from doing things in their private lives.

              Yes, I was saying that they can and still do what they want, but can/will still face punishment if they decide to do it because individuality has no place in a company setting. Its the company rules that will dictate if they can or can’t do something, and those company rules may also be dictated by laws.

              That pharmacist would (should) have faced punishment because it was at work.

                ah I see what you mean now. your saying the law won’t protect them in that setting. maybe. republicans are pretty good at double standards in the way they do things.
