      UN Commission on Population and Development Ends with Delegations
      Saying No to Abortion -- Result of effort by Iran, Comoros, Peru,
      Poland, Ireland, Chile, the Holy See, Malta and Saint Lucia

By Samantha Singson

NEW YORK April 3, 2009 (CFAM.org) - As the sun rose on the last day of 
negotiations at the Commission on Population and Development (CPD) at 
the United Nations (UN) today, delegations were still embroiled in a 
contentious debate over language concerning "sexual and reproductive 
health and rights," which some radical NGOs and UN committees have 
interpreted and used to promote abortion. As UN member states came 
together at the closing meeting to adopt the document, delegations took 
the floor to define abortion out of the document. Continues at link....

** *Re:  The Next Moral Quagmire: Conscience*

* Thank you Charles Lewis once again for an excellent and timely article 
on a very important issue!  Although it is inaccurate to say that I ever 
raised the ire of customers and colleagues over refusing to fill 
prescriptions for morning-after pills, it is true to say that I refuse 
to fill them or to refer for the drug for the reasons stated in the 
article.   It was in Toronto that a colleague suggested I leave my 
beliefs at the door and in Vancouver that a pharmacy manager warned me 
about "imposing my morality", after which I was let go under other 
pretexts. 
*

*Why is this significant?  Because this is a national problem for 
pharmacists, and not limited to Calgary, where yet another pharmacist, 
Maria Bizecki suffered a lengthy suspension from her job for kindly 
asking a customer to come back for the product she requested next day 
when someone else would be all too happy to meet her needs. 
*

*In Ontario, pharmacist Michael Izzotti was also severely reprimanded 
when a doctor made a formal complaint to the Ontario College of 
Pharmacists; Michael had merely asked the doctor to please fax in the 
prescription  so a colleague could take care of it next day.  Many other 
pharmacists will not come forward with their stories for fear of losing 
their livelihood.  *

*When convenience takes precedence over the basic human rights of 
freedom of conscience and religion, our Canadian democracy is in very 
bad shape indeed!*

Pharmacy Practice: A Canadian Perspective" at **www.theannals.com
