Medieval Disobedience

Gratis at Gray Does Matter points out a new horror story, of pharmacists in Washington state who are refusing to fill prescriptions for antibiotics or for pre-natal vitamins, when issued by a clinic known to perform abortions. If you might have had an abortion, they hope you die of infections. If you even consult a sometime-abortionist seeking to bear a healthy child, they hope it is born with birth defects, because that is what you deserve, you evil patron of baby-killers. No, those are not the things the druggists said, but those are what they meant. As Lucretius said, Hell does exist -- in the lives of fools.
