If the company you work for (say Walgreens) requires you to dispense medicine you object to, maybe you shouldn't work there.
Not that I agree with the abortionist....but the pharmacist has a job and is employed to perform that job. Would the pharmacist also fail to dispense birth control pills? Or Viagra to single men?
This issue seems to be occuring more and more, must be a moral conundrum to some pharmacists, who are essentially playing God.

Oh, please.
Didn't she find a finger or something?

I wouldn't have sex if I weren't prepared to create a child.

Of course not. One should never do the right thing if it might hurt someone else's feelings He's a Pharmacist and shouldn't refuse a prescription based on moral grounds. I am not at all for abortions and I do think they're wrong, but the woman was asking for a legal prescription and as a Pharmacist, he should provide, it's his job. If he has a problem with the kinds of drugs he might be required to dispense, then he shouldn't be in the business of dispensing drugs!

Any pharmacist that refuses to fill a valid prescription from a Dr should immediately lose their license to dispence medication.

Correct.
The contraceptive interferes with conception rather than causing an abortion.
But it comforts the article's author to say mislead the public.

"for refusing to fill a college student's birth control prescription or refer her to another pharmacist, citing religious beliefs." Probably Catholic. Every Catholic Ive met who follows this line of reasoning has between 5-7 kids. Ugh..
It is absolutely horrible these Catholics just don't confirm to modern ways and kill their babies in the womb. - sarcasm

Let's see. The pharmacist called her a baby killer, which so traumatized her that she ran out and killed her baby?
To: LetsRok
That is between the pharmacist and his/her employer.

I'm sure there is simply no way this could be a hoax. Uh uhh. The part about the Pharmacist not filling the prescription is probably true. The part about the Pharmacist ridiculing her is highly doubtful. Piling on the lame excuse she used a condom and it broke, puts the story in fairytale land.

Without having seen the rally on tv, I can still venture a guess that the "womyn" looked like a lumberjack convention. They usually do.

I applaud the pharmacist for taking a stand. Now, I trust he is prepared and willing to suffer any remaining consequences to be levied in the courts of the unjust.<<<
Anyone with true and firm religious beliefs are willing and prepared to suffer the consequences of man, because those with true and firm religious beliefs know the consequences of Gods displeasure can be much worse..and last forever.

Any pharmacist that refuses to fill a valid prescription from a Dr should immediately lose their license to dispence medication. Absolutely.....if this was a police state.

So this woman goes into a drugstore and tells the pharmacist she wanted to buy some cyanide pills. The pharmacist . . . Oh, never mind. I forgot the punchline.

If the company you work for (say Walgreens) requires you to dispense medicine you object to, maybe you shouldn't work there. Walgreens and CVS have policies that give the Pharmacist discretion.
