If I owned a store pharmacy, I would make it quite clear that I don't sell birth control including condoms. However, some people take BC for reasons other than contraception.

That's the primary reason behind my post. The pharmacist does not know specifically what the alleged 'immoral' perscriptions are for. And even if they were used for birth control, the pharmacists still should not be judgemental. For health reasons, a woman may not want to risk a pregnancy. Or a husband may use a condom because the couple wants to wait until the wife is done school, etc. It isn't any of the pharmacist's business how a valid perscription is to be used. And it isn't up to a pharmacist to decisions for these people. If a pharmacists sincerely wishes to follow their beliefs, then it should be on a big sign outside the door to the store so customers know not to bring their perscription there. The only exception would be a small community served by a single pharmacy. Then the pharmacists has no right to hold the resodence hostage.

Which, IMO, would be your right. If you did sell contraception, it would also be your right to fire a pharmacist employee who refused to fill such prescriptions.

No government involvement required, in either case.

I, on the other hand, would require that women take a contraceptive pill and men don condoms before entering my establishment.

In my drug store, you never know when sex might break out.

I've got endometriosis---severe endometriosis, typically treated with BC. I SAID NO because it's abortive, and although I'm sexually abstinent, I dind't want to put human pesticides in my body-or give money to those who make them.

I had to find an NFP only Catholic who wouldn't JUDGE ME for being abstinent or refusing birht control. Options exist. You just have to find them.
