The question is do pharmacist, doctors etc. have a right to refuse to participate in what they see as the detruction of human life. I think the answer to that is clear. Of course they do.

Certainly. However, a doctor does not have the right to steal your car to prevent you from having an abortion and a pharmacist does not have the right to steal your script to prevent you from getting your birth control pills.

Remember, your right to swing your fist ends where my nose begins.

You're a bit behind the curve. I agree that he should have given the script back, it wasn't his to keep.

And a K-Mart salesperson does not have the right to refuse to sell you ammunition to prevent you from killing someone?

"Billy Cowart and Julie Elaine Cowart, individually and as representatives of the Estate of Richard Glenn Cowart, Deceased (collectively, the Cowarts), sued Kmart Corporation (Kmart) for negligently selling ammunition to Manuel Carrasco and James Gabriel that another person, Leonard Bell, used to shoot and kill Richard Cowart."

The old, "Damned if you do and damned if you don't", huh?
