"Each according to his own conscience." Not anymore in Illinois!
With the recent US Supreme Court ruling on "Eminent Domain," personal property rights have been placed under fire. Now it's "Freedom of Religion"'s turn.
Our Governor's recent ruling on not allowing pharmacists to practice their religion and not hand out the morning-after pill (Plan B) has caused some pharmacists to take action and sue the governor!
Pharmacist Luke Vander Bleek and others have filed a lawsuit against Governor Blago for his forcing pharmacists to adopt Rod's morals on this issue. Rod, of course, has his liberal retort saying it's to "assure women their right to contraceptives." The trouble is, Plan B is a tool for chemical abortion, and that's why Vander Bleek and others are fighting this ruling by Blago and his "ruling committee."
What's next, forcing doctors to do abortions when they have a moral problem with doing such? Don't think this is too far off! Forces within NARAL and other leftist kooky people are attempting to introduce such demands upon the medical community, especially in medical schools and residency programs.
Someone has got to fully define what "Freedom of Religion" really means, and I hope our pharmacists do just that. My government does not have a right to force their version of morality upon me! (Hey, maybe the ACLU will help us here, right? Uh, well...don't think so.)
The ACLJ might!

Does freedom of regligion include calling for the knocking off of other nation's rulers?
Grow up.
It ia amazing that the right wing attacked Senator Durbin for his remarks and it is ok.
Pat Robertson has called for the killing his second world leader.
WWJD?
My thinking is that God would want all his creations treat just and humane.
Pat Robertson's is not part of our government, and his opinion is his own; it has NOT been adopted by our president or the department of defense.
Dick Durbin, on the other hand, IS part of our government, and his comments WERE supported by many democrats, who ARE part of our government as well.
Big difference between the idle ramblings of a TV religious broadcaster and a US Senator's comments about US Soldiers made on the US Congressional record.
WWJD? He wouldn't call for assassination. He would say, "Love your neighbor as yourself....Love your enemies, do good to those that hate you..." He also would say, "Do not cast your pearls before swine..."
I have NO IDEA why Pat Robertson would say the things he did; I would say one would need to visit his website and find out.
However, IF any world leader would threaten the US and IF all manners of diplomacy were exhausted, and IF there was a good reason for it, THEN military action may be necessary. I think this is true for all situations. (Kinda like Saddam; use WMDs on your own people, hang out with terrorists, ignore multiple upon multiple UN resolutions....see what happens.)
