Pro-Abort Professionals

*Sigh.* Here we go again. The Pharmacy Board in the great state of Washingon is investigating another case of a holier-than-everybody pharmacy deciding what prescriptions doctors should write for their patients.

We at Birth Pangs decided to do a little investigation of our own. What other so-called professionals decide to act outside their expertise on ‘moral grounds’?

Of course there is a Pharmacists for Life organization to go along with Physicians” title=”http://www.physiciansforlife.org/\”>Physicians” target=”_blank”>www.physiciansforlife.org/”>Physicians for Life and its Canadian counterpart.

It seems there are also Nurses for Life and, oddly, Dentists for Life. (How do dentists register their moral outrage, we wonder. Refuse anaesthesia for the whores and harlots who express pro-choice opinions?)

We googled some more. Neither psychiatrists nor psychologists have ‘for life’ organizations. Peculiar that, given how horribly crazy-making having an abortion is supposed to be. One would think every head-doctor in the world would be agitating to protect women from the terrible inevitability of insanity.

We tried other forthrightly ‘pro-life’ professional groups and could find no firefighters, paramedics, or police ‘for life’. This is decidedly strange, we thought. These are the people ready and willing to fling themselves into dangerous situations to save lives and they can’t find the time or energy to harass a few workers and patients at abortion clinics?

(Just to be thorough, we also tried lawyers, teachers, engineers, and accountants. Lawyers have an organization (but only in Louisiana, it seems) and so do teachers (but only in British Columbia(!)). Lawyers and teachers elsewhere and accountants and engineers everywhere seem to be, in the idiotically simple logic of the fetus fetishists, pro-aborts.)

This is a shocking situation. So many educated and dedicated professionals with no interest whatsoever in helping women make good choices!

Or as Herr Magoo at Bread & Roses put it:

The minute we choose to believe that having to stuff a legal product into a bag and hand it to a legitimate customer is some kind of traumatic moral experience is the day that we’d also better be ready to accept and defend:

- the LCBO employee who “doesn’t feel right” about selling liquor to an FN customer;

- the grocery store clerk who won’t ring up a cake for an overweight customer;

- the clothing store clerk who refuses to deal with women who want to buy “slutty” low cut jeans.

It’s control, and nothing more, and I dread the thought of it being enshrined in law.
