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
