Abortion-rights groups are up in arms about the unwillingness of some North Carolina pharmacists to sell morning-after pills or even birth-control pills. The pharmacists in question say they do not believe the products to be consistent with their moral views, and will refer customers elsewhere to obtain them. But the activists claim that the pharmacists, in exercising their freedom, are violating the “freedom of choice” of those wanting abortifacients or contraceptives

This is true. However, the NC pharmacists need to understand the company has the same freedom to let them go for not fulfilling their job requirements. Not that I agree with the activists though.

NC is a right to work state.

Where it gets really interesting is in the case of small pharmacies wholly owned by the pharmacist and not the CVS and Eckerd variety. I suspect most of the pharmacists refusing to honor requests for such medications are of the former variety, hence the interest in this issue by the news media and potentially the legislature. If CVS had an existing policy that forbade such refusal, we would never had heard of this, the company would have simply booted the offender.
