If the Catholic Church chooses to participate in non-religious activities, such as adoption, then they must abide by the legal standard for that activity. They should not be allowed to discriminate.
Personal beliefs are fine, but they should not be allowed to impose on others. Example - we have pharmicists here in the USA who, because of their beliefs on abortion, are refusing to fill presciptions for the morning-after pill. As a result, there are some communities where is is difficult or impossible to obtain this medication. Their refusal to dispense legal medications should result in a warning the first time, and permanant revocation of their license the second time. If they don't want to dispense any and all legally-prescribed medication, then perhaps they should find a different line of work.

sorry Billcat, have to disagree with your logic on this one, are you saying a Pharmacist should be compelled to issue the morning after pill even if he/ she disagrees with it on moral grounds ? then it follows ....a doctor should be compelled to carry out abortions without using his/her own moral conscience, both actions have the same result . I dont really think that the morning-after pill can be described as medication , I've allways thought that medicine was was supposed to heal not kill .
