If a chain decides to allow pharmacists to determine which scripts he will or will not fill, then of course that pharmacist can't be fired for taking advantage of that policy.
However, if a chain decides to dispense RU-486 to every 10 yr old that says "pretty please" then each pharmacist working in that chain needs to decide whether to quit or grin-n-bear-it. If he refuses to do his job then his employer should have every right to find someone who will.
If this really is a way of keeping CVS and Walgreens from getting sued for refusing to dispense RU-486 free with every $10 purchase then these politicians aren't doing THEIR jobs correctly.
And they can, because that is the practice of most Pharmasies.

Not sure I follow your point. Yes, this is a way to protect Pharmasists from getting sued, and most states are protecting them from such suits so politicians are doing their job. But yes, more needs to be done at protecting business and people from these kind of lawsuits. However, this law goes further than most since it seems to protect the employee from the employer.
