"I think pharmacists should be obligated to fill prescriptions given by licensed doctors. If they don't want to maybe they shouldn't be in that profession. If you disagree with doctor-prescribed birth control pills than fight for their illegalization."

I completely agree. Running a pharmacy is a unique situation, where the average citizen is virtually required to obtain almost all of his or her medication via a licensed pharmacist (the other route would be obtaining drugs illegally, or going to Mexico or Canada). If a person has a moral objection to filling prescriptions, they shouldn't be a pharmacist.

99.9999%+ of prescriptions would not be a problem for a devout Catholic. We are discussing one single drug RU-486 ("Plan B").

Go to another pharmacist, there are plenty. Beyond that, if you are worried about someone stealing you rights, worry about the government; they are the ones who require you to go the pharmacist in the first place.

Government requires you to go the the state sanctioned person to get a product. Government requires state sanctioned person to perform acts incompatible with their conscious. So who is the real thief of liberty the pharmacist? I don't think so.

Just food for thought but would it make a difference if the birth control mechanism was to potentially abort a fertilized egg versus prevention of fertilization?
