"I would probably be right is saying that a huge percentage of the practicing pharmists entered the profession and got their degree/certification long before this question ever arose. A very weak argument at best."
So then a man who is an emergency room physician who converts to islam should have the right to suddenly refuse to treat female car accident victims bcse his new religion says it's a sin to touch a naked woman not his wife? Or an army sergeant who becomes a Quaker can refuse to take up arms in a time of war? Same situation. Different beliefs. Your logic.
I believe quakers do serve in non combat areas during war time. As for a Dr.Converting to islam,he'd be too busy making bombs to work an OR.
Your arguements are assinine. I've been to many pharmacys that are out of a drug or don't carry it.I simply went to another pharmacy I didn't sit around pissing and moaning because I wasn't served in the manner I thought I deserved.
They have a back up plan to accomodate the 'supposed victim' (altho imo the victim is the baby getting murdered).
But accomodating doesn't seem to be enough for you. You want to force the pharmicists to actually hand over the filthy baby killing pills and nothing short of that is what you are demanding.
It's that demanding attitude in forcing an evil upon others that is ruining our Country.

You actually display no logic or a severe lack of it with the examples you threw out. The converted doctor was a hoot, but the fact that he decided afterwards to become Muslim means he accepted a tenet of their faith and it wasn't imposed on him by someone else. He has decisions to make, but they are his own.
The Quaker thing is absurb on the face. If this were to actually happen, there are avenues the person could take which would releive him of his duties in the armed service, or place him in a non combat postition. But once again you have used poor logic in comparisons. Both chose a profession, then changed later on. That was their volition and they must deal with the consequences of the decision.
1. What's with the "suddenly?" That's a whole different issue. A doctor in that situation who did not notify his employers as soon as he converted would be guilty of being a downright rotten employee. Same thing with a pharmacist who sees Plan B coming into his inventory and doesn't mention it until a customer wanting some shows up. You're taking examples of unreasonable jerks and superimposing them on another issue entirely, an issue of freedom rather than one of employee conduct.
2. Actually, Islam makes reasonable exceptions for that sort of thing, or at least that's what the footage I've seen of Egyptian surgeons would seem to indicate. Surgical patients are almost always naked, it's easier to keep theings sterile that way.

Wrong answer. Such situations occur on a regular basis. The way you know the fakers is that they always turn CO (conscientious objector) right before they are to be deployed. Real CO's are treated with dignity. As long as the soldier makes his conscientious objector status clear as soon as he arrives at his change of heart, he is able to transfer to a non-combat position. Most CO's have historically chosen to be Chaplain's assistants or medics.
In the days of the draft, many conscientious objectors joined the military on the condition that they be allowed to serve as medics. What you are advocating is the equivalent of taking one of those medics and forcing him to become a rifleman. I'm sure somebody could even use the pain of others to "justify" such a fascist act in the way you have. "The more riflemen we have the shorter the war will be. Can you look a mother in the eye whose child was killed by the enemy and tell her that her child could have lived if we hadn't fooled around with that silly free exercise of religion crap?"
