[Pflienews] PharmFacts E-News Update: abortoholic "professor" pedantics show bigotry, hate-filled speech for pro-life pharmacists

[PFLI PharmAid Center]

*PharmFacts E-News Update -- 18 Sept 2008 AD

PFLI responds to irrational pedantics of extremist abortoholic 
"professor" PZ Myers /ad hominem/ attacks on pro-life pharmacist Mike 
Koelzer, RPh:
*

It appears that pro-life pharmacist and  PFLI spokesman  Mike Koelzer 
<http://www.prolifepharmacy.com/>  has crossed paths with the very liberal
Associate Professor of Biology,  P.Z. Myers.   Apparently  Mike's  big 
offense  was to show  (by offering to make a presentation at Myer's 
place of worship) that he didn't (according to Myers) "know me very well 
<http://www.scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2008/09/he_doesnt_know_me_very_well_do.php>". 

For this grave  insult  of not recognizing the renown of Myers,  small 
hordes of  Myers' Atheist Acolytes  were sent to Mike's  pharmacy survey 
page to heap spam onto the website of his business.   This caused Mike a 
bit of tedium,  from a need to manage the spam,  and caused me 
considerable  amusement to hear of it. 

Myers, a rather bellicose fellow, apparently in midlife crisis, is known 
more for obtaining a Blessed Eucharistic Host from a Catholic Church, 
and desecrating it, than he is for accomplishments in scientific 
research 
<http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/jul/12/professor-solicits-hosts-to-desecrate/>.   
A brief search for his work in Biology  turned up....... well, er, ..... 
next to nothing.  I understand that  he has had one or two peer 
reviewed  journal articles, and a little collection of conference 
presentations to his name.   If you search the Internet, you'll find 
Associate Professor Myers now bending the ears of students at University 
of Minnesota, Morris Campus. 

It appears that when this P.Z. Myers  passes on to become fertilizer  
(as his own religion might suggest)  he won't be  remembered for actual 
accomplishments,  and may be recalled by a few  for attempting to anger  
Catholics and other people with a vision of the Creator.  

I do sincerely invite  P.Z. Myers  to get a life,  to obtain access to 
the Creator through the illumination of the Catholic Religion, and 
perhaps accomplish some significant scientific research.   

Science becomes a very useful tool, for the good of living creatures, 
when one stops abusing it as a religion.

EUCHARIST DESECRATING MYERS LEADS ATTACKS AGAINST PRO-LIFE PHARMACIST

*Washington, D.C. (18 September 2008)* -- P.Z. Myers, the infamous 
Minnesota biology professor who incited national outcry after 
desecrating the Eucharist and photographing the act for his blog, has 
now unleashed his venom on a new target - Mike Koelzer, a member of 
American Life League Associate group Pharmacists for Life International.

"Not content with desecrating Catholics' most sacred Sacrament, Myers is 
once again spewing hate and anger at anyone who would dare proclaim a 
belief in God or attempt to stop the murder of the preborn," said Judie 
Brown, president of American Life League.

Koelzer, owner of Kay Pharmacy in Grand Rapids, Michigan, stopped 
selling contraceptive products in 2002. He's been featured in The 
Washington Post and on ABC World News for his views on abortion-causing 
drugs.

Myers' latest screed of religious intolerance on his blog Pharyngula 
incited an all-out internet attack against Koelzer. Threats and hate 
mail inundated Koelzer's e-mail after he inadvertently sent Myers a 
speaking invitation.

"I would enjoy speaking at your church or your organization's conference 
or other event. I also would be honored to have you share my apostolate 
in your blog etc. To learn more about my apostolate, please see 
www.prolifepharmacy.com," Koelzer's invitation read.

An outraged Myers asked his blog readers to flood Koelzer's Web site 
with mail. They replied en masse with over 400 threats of profanity and 
hate-filled messages including:

"Burn the building to the ground. And have Mike Koelzer sterilized."

"Commit suicide."

"And..... the rumor is you have quite a nice looking butt and if you 
play your cards right ... well, let's just say, I can be awfully grateful."

"Mike Koelzer is being persecuted for trying to protect innocent human 
life," Brown said. "We encourage all American Life League supporters to 
log onto http://kaypharmacy.wufoo.com/forms/kay-survey/ and lend your 
support to the efforts of this courageous man."

American Life League was cofounded in 1979 by Judie Brown. It is the 
largest grassroots Catholic pro-life organization in the United States 
and is committed to the protection of all innocent human beings from the 
moment of creation to natural death. For more information or media 
inquiries, please contact Katie Walker at 540.659.4942.
