Any use of the birth control pill is considered immoral by millions of Catholics and Evangelical Portestants and Jews and Muslims. Aside from it being an abortofacient, we also all agree that birth control itself is immoral (a "shocking" stance that was the law of the US until 1971).
For health reasons, a woman may not want to risk a pregnancy. Or a husband may use a condom because the couple wants to wait until the wife is done school, etc.
For morals reasons, many people don't wish to be associated with dispensing any variety of birth control devices and potions.
It isn't any of the pharmacist's business how a valid perscription is to be used. And it isn't up to a pharmacist to decisions for these people.
The Pharamacist is only making a decision for themselves - they are choosing not to do what they view as immoral.
If a pharmacists sincerely wishes to follow their beliefs, then it should be on a big sign outside the door to the store so customers know not to bring their perscription there. The only exception would be a small community served by a single pharmacy. Then the pharmacists has no right to hold the resodence hostage.
Is this really a conservative bulletin board? Whatver happened to the freedom of association, freedom to run ones business as one sees fit, etc.? Maybe the immoralists of the community should not be allowed to hold pharamacists hostage to their immorality. Let them go and find someone of a different moral persuasion who is willing to cater to their perversity.
I think the concern is that some want to impose their will and outlaw birth control or MA pills.
I agree that an individual has every right to refuse to dispense any drug. But he should had the prescription over to another druggist or back to the patient.
