Once you get past the cute framing (“pineapple on pizza: you either love it or hate it, but know Italians see it as an affront, right?”), this looks like a stalking horse to legitimise the idea of “religious freedom” rights, like those of pharmacists to refuse to sell birth control.

Yeah, I hate pineapple on pizza too, but the restaurant sells it, so the chef better fucking make it

Yeah, because people's lives depend on pizza formulations in the same way as they do on medicine, right?

Birth control and Plan B aren't life or death medicines. Religious nutter pharmacists aren't refusing to dispense insulin.
