People Should Concentrate on Doing Their Jobs...

Ok, seriously, this shit has to stop. If you don't want to do your job then quit. Go flip fucking hamburgers at McDonalds. If you're a doctor, be a doctor. If your patient wants a pap smear, give her one. I don't care if she's married or not, that's really none of your business either. If she wants the pill, give her the pill, that's your job. If she's pregnant and she wants a referral for an abortion, give her one, it's not your job to make medical decisions against your patient's wishes. If you're a pharmacist, you shouldn't be able to pick and choose what prescriptions you fill. You see that piece of paper in front of you, that's a prescription. If you wanted to write prescriptions maybe you should have chosen a different specialty. If you want to put your stupid superstitions ahead of medicine, you chose the wrong damn profession.

I can't pick and choose what parts of my job I want to perform and neither should anyone else. You'll notice you don't see any of these sexist assholes refusing to prescribe Viagra to unmarried men. Somehow it seems Christian morality only extends to refusing vital medical care to women.

I guess Canada isn't always the liberal oasis we think it is.
