Change the damn law!! It's like saying a nurse MUST participate in an abortion to keep her job.

Mo, it's not. Unless she goes to work for a doctor who performs abortions. These pharmacists are working for a company that is selling a legal drug, wheter or not they agree with it's use. If they don't want to fill these lawful prescriptions, then maybe they can band together and open a drugstore that bases what it sells on scripture, rather than what drugs are legal to prescribe. Heck, if nothing else, I'm sure there are plenty of Mom and Pop drugstores that refuse to sell the pills. Why didn't these pharmacists simply ask another pharmacist to help the customer, or offer to direct them to another pharmacy? Did they really think that they were going to stop them from getting the pills prescribed?
Until then what choice does Walgreens have except to take the actions that they took? I think the company is being very fair in offering to help the pharmacists become licensed in Missouri which doesn't have a similar law. They could have easily fired the four and washed their hands of them.
