Which is the best counterexample to the principle in the following Argument from Principle?
[Pay attention to the criteria for good counterexamples from Chapter 6 of Doing Practical Ethics.] 1) A person should never be punished for living according to their religious convictions.
2) A Christian pharmacist who refuses to fill a prescription for Plan B birth control (because it conflicts with their personal values) is living according to their religious convictions.
So, a Christian pharmacist who refuses to fill a prescription for Plan B birth control should not be punished.
A) An ambulance driver who refuses to drive a gay man to the hospital for emergency surgery because the driver has religious oppositions to same-sex relationships should clearly be punished. They could not reasonably expect their employer to look the other way and let them do this without repercussions.
B) A Muslim person who views it as part of their religious commitment to wear a hijab should not be punished for wearing it to work when it clearly does not interfere with their ability to do their job.
C) A pastor who officiates at a same-sex wedding should be punished by their church.
D) There is no basis in Christian scripture for opposing the use of Plan B birth control. Anyone who thinks there is is just picking to selectively interpret passages to justify what they already think.
