Because I am about to type something that is complete heresy.
Yay Wal-Mart! (Oh my god- is my hair on fire, am I going to be struck down by the progressive gods?)
MADISON (AP) – A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit brought by a pharmacist who claimed he was fired by Wal-Mart Stores Inc. for his refusal to fill birth control prescriptions.
But wait, there’s more.
Wal-Mart and the staffing agency that hired the guy tried to work with him on his beliefs. He was not required to fill birth control prescriptions because there was always another pharmacist on hand to fill them.
But that wasn’t enough for the guy. Instead, he left people calling about birth control on permanent hold and didn’t tell the other pharmacist when someone came to the counter to fill a birth control prescription, so the person went away thinking that the prescription could not be filled.
Wal-Mart fired him for insubordination, which is a lot more than I can say for Target*.
Damn, I hate it when evil empires do something good.
* That I have to link to Big Girl John Arovosis pisses me off, but it was the best thing I could find for a 7 month old story.
