What this article deals with, is an attempt by the state to coerce, not only individual pharmacists, but pharmacies (businesses) to fill all prescriptions for contraceptive and abortive devices.
The governor of Illinois is prepared to deny licenses to these "conscientious objector" pharmacists AND pharmacies.

Ill. Pharmacies Required to Fill Prescriptions for Birth Control
By Kari Lydersen
Special to The Washington Post
Saturday, April 2, 2005; Page A02 CHICAGO, April 1 -- Illinois Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich (D) issued an emergency rule Friday that requires pharmacies to accept and fill prescriptions for contraceptives without delay, after a growing number of complaints nationwide that some pharmacists are refusing to dispense birth control pills and the "morning-after" pill.
He also established a toll-free number that residents can call to report refusals by pharmacies.
(Emphasis added by me) ------------------------------------------------------------
This is state coercion on a private business and an attempt to coerce conscience. To use you analogy, it would be more like the state saying that every video store must service the customers' desire to buy porn; either by selling the porn, or possibly by making a referral only to a conveniently-located porn store for same-day service.
Regarding the Illinois thing, I'm pretty sure that pharmacies that did not stock birth control in the first place were exempt, although I would imagine they are an extremely small minority.
