Or rather, don't become an employee of WalGreens.

Go work for (or own) a pharmacy that shares your views.

That about sums it up.

A rule imposed by Gov. Rod Blagojevich in April requires Illinois pharmacies ...

In many states Walgreens allows pharmacists to observe their conscience in dispensing meds. The State of Illinois made that policy illegal, however. Walgreens has offered the pharmacists jobs in Missouri, which isn't completely obsessed with killing babies.

And with the pharmacist shortage, if enough did that, it would make impact

"Go work for (or own) a pharmacy that shares your views."

The problem is that some states and/or courts are now forcing companies to sell contraceptives, to include contraceptives in their health plans, etc. If they had their way, abortion rights activists will force Catholic hospitals to perform abortions etc. So it's not quite as simple as you suggest for people with moral objections to these things to find alternatives.

Go work for (or own) a pharmacy that shares your views.

In Illinois, that mean you would have to work for (or own) a pharmacy that sells no birth control.

From the article:

A rule imposed by Gov. Rod Blagojevich in April requires Illinois pharmacies that sell contraceptives approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to fill prescriptions for emergency birth control.

You are saying, in effect, that

unwillingness to dispense one type of prescription which has the main goal of dealing death
should outweigh
the willingness to dispense hundreds of other life-enhancing prescriptions

Pro-life pharmacists are already chosing to avoid plenty of jobs related to their field

Those pro-life pharmacists are already avoiding jobs for companies that kill embryos, do cloning, work on abortifacients, etc.

Pharmacies are not, primarily, in business to kill. Most of the pharmacies' products promote health, not death.

The Illinois rule makes no sense because
1. dispensing the morning after pills is a very small part of the business in a typical pharmacy and
2. the Governor added that wierd stipulation about the rule applying to pharmacies that sell contraceptives.

Does the governor's rule apply to pharmacies that dispense condoms? Does it apply to pharmacies that dispense contraceptive foam? Does it apply to pharmacies that sell sponges?

What connection does the governor find between contraception and "offing" a small human?
