The Jihad Watch Never Stops.

I was going to try and take a break from the seriousness of the last few posts today with a dumb customer story or two, but just like a whack-a-mole game, the right-wing jihadists and Christian Fascists keep popping their heads above ground at a rate that makes it challenging to keep up. It's no longer news when some self-righteous prick looking to boost their self esteem by playing the power trip game won't give some lady her birth control. We're beyond that now. In what, less than a year? We've moved on to "you don't deserve vitamins or antibiotics because you're a slut" From The Stranger In Seattle:

Cedar River Clinics, a women's health and abortion provider with facilities in Renton, Tacoma, and Yakima, filed a complaint with the Washington State Department of Health this week alleging three instances where pharmacists raising moral objections refused to fill prescriptions for Cedar River clients. The complaint includes one incident at the Swedish Medical Center outpatient pharmacy in Seattle. According to the complaint, someone at the Swedish pharmacy said she was "morally unable" to fill a Cedar River patient's prescription for abortion-related antibiotics.

The complaint also includes an incident from November 2005 in Yakima, in which a pharmacist at a Safeway reportedly refused to fill a Cedar River patient's prescription for pregnancy-related vitamins. The pharmacist reportedly asked the customer why she had gone to Cedar River Clinics and then told the patient she "didn't need them if she wasn't pregnant."

You can read the whole story here.


I remember as a young drugnazi intern saying things like " Your pharmacist couldn't care less if you're getting a birth control prescription filled, as a matter of fact, I'll tell you exactly what he's thinking when he's filling it. 'Oh thank God, no counting on this one, just slap on a label and out the door'"

As a not-quite-as young drugnazi with a full fledged license, my first thought when I heard the incredible story of a pharmacist (who looking back I think was the evil Karen Brauer) who got fired from a K-mart for refusing to fill a birth control prescription was,"Where in the hell does that woman work that she has the TIME to pull a stunt like that?" Then I laughed at her stupidity and didn't give it another thought.

And now, with a gray hair or two popping up, It seems like the times are passing me by. Well fuck time. There will always be an island of sanity in the incoming tide of religious fascism sweeping the planet wherever the drugnazi is employed. A drugnazi.....protecting you from fascism.
