If you want to work at a job that involves certain tasks, you should either perform those tasks, or find another job. I think most people here would consider that a conservative approach.

First off, this was never part of the job until very recently. Secondly, coercing people to take part in infanticide is not conservative in any way shape or form.

So, if you own a pharmacy, do what you want, otherwise do what you’re told.

In many cases this is no longer a company decision, but one being hoisted upon them by the government.

Or perhaps you think it’s reasonable for Muslim taxi drivers to refuse to carry alcohol (or dogs), or for Muslims working in a grocery store check-out to refuse to handle port (or alcohol)?

Assisting in what many consider murder does not compare to some silly rule Muslims may or may not have.

You're mixing apples and oranges here. I think most Freepers disagree with a law that requires every phamacist to dispense drugs in violation of deeply held religious belief. It's another thing entirely to say a private pharmacy owner can't hire only those people who will dispense any lawful RX so as to maximize his income. Just as the same pharmacy owner should be able to instruct all his phamacists not to dispense the drug if it violates his conscience. That's the whole concept of private property.
