Senator Barbara Boxer of California has found another right which compels someone to act according to another person’s will:
Sen. Barbara Boxer of California, citing reports that pharmacists have turned away women seeking birth control pills, has introduced legislation that she says would protect American women’s access to contraception.
Boxer’s proposal would require all pharmacies to fill all prescriptions or refer customers to someone who will, despite pharmacists’ religious or ethical objections to the nature of the prescription.
Securing the right to birth control, you see.
Hey, Babbles, I got some other ideas for your brand of Federalism which is far too crashing, snorting, and bellowing to call “creeping Federalism”:
- Right to an Abortion. Compel all medical doctors to perform abortions on demand by anyone, even children, under the penalty of losing their licenses. Perhaps a phased-in approach to drive-thrus, too.
- Right to Porn. Compel all bookstores to carry Hustler magazine. However, to protect the children, bookstores require ID to enter.
- Right to Music with Swear Words. Compel Wal-Mart to carry the most “authentic” hip-hop music.
- Right to Alcohol-Free Bars. Compel bars to only serve softdrinks and coffee so that they’re better family destinations.
Senator Babbles wants to inject the Federal Government virus into every small business in the land to protect the helpless against those who own property and want to use it as they see fit.
