You said wal mart doesn't carry playboy therefor they don't sell it.
That's different from them selling it and the cashier refusing to sell it to you which is what is happening at the drug store. They carry BC yet a certain druggist refuses to sell it. That.s wrong.

Don't get me wrong ... a company or owner of a business does have the right to sell what it wants. Just as I have the right not to shop there.

The druggist should look for another pharmacy that reflects his personal morals.

these are two different issues and I guess I joined them together as one.

If a cashier refuses to sell Playboy, then that is not the government violating fredom of speech. It is a cashier deciding that his or her beliefs are more important than keeping the job. The employer would be well within their rights to fire them, as they should.
If a drugstore carries birth control and a pharmacist refuses to sell it, then the pharmacy is within their rights to fire the phamracist. If a pharmacist owns his own drugstore, and refuses to sell birth control, then that is his right. Why would he even carry birth control if he felt this way? The law is really unneccessary. I don't think the government really needs to be involved here, if I didn't make that clear earlier. I do feel that people should be fairly confident that they can enter a drugstore and expect legal prescriptions to be filled. It would seem that the free market could sort this out.
