INTRODUCTION Refusals by individual pharmacies and pharmacists to fill prescriptions for emergency contraceptives ("EC") have dominated news headlines, from the Washington Post to the Miami Herald.1 In the act that sparked a firestorm of controversy, an Eckerd pharmacist refused to fill a rape victim's prescription for Plan B.2 A few months later, 11 Alabama nurses resigned positions at state clinics rather than provide EC against their moral convictions.3 These refusals do not seem to be driven by moral concerns about promiscuity, since pharmacists have refused to dispense Plan B to married couples as well.5 Instead, the refusals reflect moral and religious concerns about facilitating an act that would cut-off a potential human life.5 Recently, conscience-based refusals have ballooned ...

Weaver emphasizes that a well-formed conscience requires a living faith, the committed and concerted cultivation of an intimate relationship with God, and that as one shares more deeply in the life of God, the experience of moral confusion elicits less fear, and more love.

Promulgated under the health care reform act commonly referred to as "Obamacare," the new regulations would require an employer to have a health plan that covers sterilization and contraception -- which could include drugs that cause abortion -- as part of a larger set of "preventative services" for women. These practices are morally repugnant to many Americans -- for some, because it directly contradicts their faith. For example, the doctrine of the Catholic Church, which includes roughly a quarter of Americans, explicitly prohibits such practices.

Let's say you're one of the lucky few who still has some cash lying around, and you don't know what to do with it. The Dow Jones continues to look like a leaky canoe in a Chinese typhoon, so you don't feel confident about buying up any blue chips just yet. You were thinking about ordering some Krugerrands and locking them up in your gun safe, but then gold event to a cool K an ounce, and you're pretty sure the idea is to "buy low, sell high" - not the other way around. (Besides, you've filled the . gun safe up with .22 shells because you heard from your barber that part of President Barack Obama's stimulus package is to replace America's ammo factories with re-education centers for kids, so there's no room for the Krugerrands anyway.) Well brother, I think we can work something out. Und...
