Taking responsibility...
The Cloister congratulates pharmacist Trevor Dal Broi on his initiative in removing from sale condoms from his East Griffith Pharmacy and emergency contraception morning-after pills.That misguided feminist bat NSW Deputy Premier and Health Minister Carmel Tebbutt said "health professionals know the very important role that condoms play in the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases"... so does abstinence Minister!
News reports allege another Griffith pharmacist said he was also a Catholic and had no qualms about providing contraceptives. "But I have my thoughts and I think the Church is losing the plot if it encourages this sort of thing." With some five chemists serving the 16000 strong Griffith community it shouldn't be hard to identify him though and shop elsewhere!!!
Family Planning NSW are reported as saying that "Without access to condoms and contraceptives, particularly condoms, we have high rates of unplanned pregnancies and high rates of sexually transmitted infections. "These rates will be much higher if access is cut off." Surely they are not suggesting that the town of Griffith is rife with sexually transmitted disease and overly fertile women!
One Griffith graduate of the local state run social engineering facility Alison Dance said women in the town (which at 18 she only marginally qualifies) were outraged. "A pharmacist is a bit like a doctor. They have a responsibility to look after you. They are someone whose advice you're supposed to trust. To be [refused] service because it's something he doesn't personally believe in is wrong" she said. What of your responsibility to look after yourself Miss Dance!
So gentle pilgrim let's sum up the situation
- Our hero pharmacist Trevor Dal Broi has made an informed decision not to dispense a particular group of products namely contraceptives.
- Everyone is concerned by his actions as they will lead to a pandemic of sexually transmitted disease and hard to explain pregnancies.
- Young inexperienced children also are concerned that, by not giving them access to what they in their extensive wisdom think is best for their condition, Trevor is acting contrary to his obligation of responsibility for their well being.
- The NSW Health Minister is a silly bat and has never heard of abstinence which seems a pre-requisite for the portfolio as her predecessor was forced to resigned his office on account of his own failings in this regard.
- Family Planning NSW have information that Griffith has a particularly fertile population and is a known hotspot for sexually transmitted disease.

Who on earth buys condoms from a chemist?
Given that you've mention abstinence and Carmel Tebbutt a number of times in this overview that would make a journalist cringe, let's examine the foundation of your logic.
You 'batter' the minister not because of what she said, but for what she didn't say.
That, in terms of a logical argument, is a foundation built on sand!
We don't know and simply can't assume that the minister hasn't heard of or doesn't regard abstinence as important.
We might assume that she answered the question asked, not 'Have you heard of abstinence, you silly bat!?'; the question implied in your critique.
Tony, have you been told today?
Tony, have you been told today?
Modesty restrains.
I think the process which has led to our current crisis works like this:
1. You are probably fertile. You may have sex. You will probably conceive a child.
2. You are probably fertile. You will probably have sex. You will probably conceive a child.
3. You may be fertile. You will probably have sex. You will possibly use contraception.
4. You may be fertile. You should have sex. You will probably use contraception.
5. You may be fertile. You should have sex. You should use contraception.
6. You are probably infertile. You should have sex. You must use contraception.
7. You are probably infertile. You must have sex. You must use contraception.
8. You must be infertile. You must have sex. You must not conceive a child.
Dear Hardman, you stop too soon.
9.You must be infertile. You may have sex with numerous partners. You must not concieve a child. You may get an STI.
10. You must be infertile. You must have sex with numerous partners. You must not concieve a child. You will probably get an STI. etc etc
11. You must be infertile. You must have sex with numerous partners. You must not concieve a child. You will probably get an STI. You must abort every baby you conceive, whether wanted or not. You must Repeat ad nauseum.
Exactly, Jim. If you can buy condoms from Coles, one pharmacist in country NSW is not much of an issue.
LOL! Word verification is: "imate"
"To be [refused] service because it's something he doesn't personally believe in is wrong" she said.
Such moral absolutes from one so young?
Because only some kinds of people may exercise "choice."
