There sure as heck is!
If the pharmacists didn't like the rules, they shouldn't have worked there in the first place.
The rule was that they could be pharmacists and follow their conscience -- until Gov. Blagojevich declared it illegal.
By the logic used here, that catholic school that fired that out of wedlock, pregnant teacher (for breaking her contract) had no reason to do so either.
The logic is that the state shouldn't force private companies and organizations to do things against their religious beliefs.

I am personally dead against the morning-after pill.....however, these employees were being paid to do their job. They signed employment contracts with the company and the company has every right to fire them for breaking it.
BTW, I don't see how the state is forcing "private companies and organizations to do things against their religious beliefs" in this case.
Walgreen's is free to refuse to sell the drug. They chose not to.
The pharmacists are free to take their services elsewhere. There is a HUGE need for pharmacists, all over.
They should find a pharmacy whose inventory better reflects their religious views.
