Even if you don't believe in birth control, even if you don't want to dispense birth control pills, it's still wrong to confiscate someone else's prescription.

Not to mention presumptuous.

First of all, she paid good money for that prescription.

Second, how does anybody know what the pills are for? Some women take BC pills because they have heavy bleeding and other medical reasons. It helps regulate their cycle. The woman may be totally abstinent.

Indeed, my wife has taken them for years to control her endometriosis symptoms.

Thank you! It amazes me to no end how many people out there think that every woman who takes birth control pills is taking them just so she can go f*#@ the football team. They're used for any number of gynecological conditions and are a Godsend to many women.

If your faith prevents you from doing a job properly, get another line of work.
