1st Amendment, free exercise clause.

I don't think anyone is saying the guy can't be Catholic or whatever but rather that pharmacies must carry certain drugs to be licensed and if you can't accept the licensing restrictions, find some other line of work. People who object on religious basis to some government policy or other must support them with their taxes or go to jail. That's not an establishment of religion either.

So, the state can tell a person, "You have a choice between giving up your livelihood or doing something that your faith teaches is child murder," and you don't think that's an overreach for the state?

The state should be able to dictate the specific inventory of a private business?

and if you can't accept the licensing restrictions, find some other line of work.

So the state does all this in order to accomplish what? To ensure no woman experiences the horror of having to go to more than one pharmacy to find a particular medication?

If Washington State decides that doctors should have to offer abortions at their office site in order to be licensed, is that OK with you?
