Virginia pharmacy had plenty of moral convictions, few clients

[cynatnite]

The Divine Mercy Care Pharmacy in Chantilly proudly and purposefully limited what it would stock on its shelves. But it turns out that no birth control pills, no condoms, no porn, no tobacco and even no makeup added up to one thing:

No customers.

The self-described "pro-life" pharmacy went out of business last month, less than two years after it opened to great fanfare, with a Catholic priest sprinkling holy water on the strip-mall store tucked between an Asian supermarket and a scuba shop.

No word on whether he returned for last rites.

5. I bet even the priests and Southern Baptists didn't shop there

Except maybe once or twice every few months to keep up appearances.

6. I've always had a sort of respect for those who "put their money where their mouth is".

That even extends to that "birther" doctor, who's currently up for courts martial. But actions have their consequences, so I'll maintain that "sort of respect" ONLY if they pay up without attempting to weasel out of it.
