Doesn't matter to me if you're a MD, RN or POS.
The pharmacist has every right to his own moral beliefs. That's not in question here.
The question is whether the pharmacist has the moral right to refuse a legally-prescribed drug when not knowing the circumstances behind the prescription. Of course, he can speculate on those circumstances but that's another point.
My feeling is that if the pharmacist is having ethical and moral objections, it's him or her that should seek employment elsewhere.
Of course he has the moral right. Indeed, the obligation.

Are you saying his employer has told him he must fill that prescription? I didn't see that in the article.
Or are you saying he should choose another line of work?
