Spotty's readers have undoubtedly heard about the Target pharmacist, in Missouri, Spot thinks, who wouldn't fill a prescription for emergency contraception, or Plan B. There have been other scattered reports of similar refusals by pharmacists across the country. Spot thought it would be altogether fit and proper to commerate these brave soldiers for the Lord with a hymn. Spot has two verses figured out so far, and would like to solicit suggestions or contributions for a couple of more verses. Here's what Spotty has so far:
Onward, Christian Pharmacists, wrapped in piety,
Foisting their morality onto you and me.
Who needs modern chemistry, when they had a vision?
Everyone trying birth control should land themselves in prison.
Onward, Christian Pharmacists, wrapped in piety,
Foisting their morality onto you and me.
Keep the torches burning, let not sunlight in,
Let the white hot torches burn out all the sin.
Stand behind their counters, dressed in pious white,
Anyone who wants the Pill, they will surely smite.
Onward, Christian Pharmacists, wrapped in piety,
Foisting their morality onto you and me.
It it sung, of course to the tune of Onward, Christian Soldiers. Ideally, there would be at least four verses: one with a quiet intensity followed with a triumphal ending verse. It would be nice to work in themes of refusal to fill prescriptions for rape victims and seriously ill women. Spot knows the bards out there can help. Leave you snippets of verse, or entire verses in a comment or send Spot an email.
