I read an article years ago about a Jewish doctor who eventually stopped doing abortions. That’s fine. And if a pharmacist decided not to fill birth control or morning-after pills, that’s legally fine, but not ethically fine, as far as I’m concerned.

If a pharmacist were a newly converted Christian Scientist, would that mean they could forgo all prescriptions and hand out pamphlets on prayer to God for healing?

A medical clinic or pharmacy that has a doctor or pharmacist on hand who refuses to perform legal medical procedures or administer legal medical prescriptions should make a point of hiring a second helping hand to make sure those seeking legal procedures and drugs can get them.

Anyway, Target’s a no-go for me.

In other news, D, I’ve applied to HUC and am hopeful I’ll get in.

Hmnnn. I’ve been thinking about this one lately. Is it OK to require someone, as part of their job, go against their religious beliefs? I don’t think so.

So, say this practice continues (I’m fairly certain it will) - businesses that adhere to XYZ religious principles, thus shutting out some consumers - that seems fractious and unhelpful as well.

Some might say that’s fine - “The Market” will automagically create/support businesses that will suit everyone’s needs.

But what about the people (either employees or consumers) who live in places where there’s no access to a business that fits their principles?

I think the solution is larger and more complex than “Don’t Shop At Target”, and I admit to not being certain about how to address it.
