The pharmacist refused to fill my prescription for contraceptives because allowing women to control their own sex lives is immoral in his religion.
After I was raped by my uncle, the pharmacist refused to fill my prescription for the morning-after drug, because making any distinction between the rights of an adult woman and the rights of a collection of living cells smaller than the point of a pin is immoral in his religion. (Then he cheerfully gave my rapist more Viagra.)
Then my gynecologist refused to perform an abortion, because making any distinction between the rights of an adult woman and the rights of a collection of living cells smaller than a grain of rice is immoral in her religion.
Then when I wanted to get baptized, the preacher refused, because being an unwed mother is immoral in his religion.
Then the cops and the military refused to protect me from criminals and terrorists, because my lewd, liberal, Jesus-hating lifestyle is immoral in their religion.
Then the ticker-taker at the multimegaplex refused to honor my ticket for "Bambi," because movies that involve the death of animals are immoral in her religion. . . .
