If a pharmacist doesn’t want to do things that are morally repugnant to him, (for instance, he’s a devout Catholic who does not believe in birth control), he may have chosen the wrong profession.

Pharmacists have to make moral decisions like anyone else. Their conscience rights should be respected.

As a physician, I would not work for an organization that performs abortions. Does that mean I should have chosen another profession? Your statement makes no sense.

If you DID work for an organization that provides abortions, such as a non-religious affiliated hospital, then you could, of course, choose not to perform abortions. If a pharmacist didn’t want to dispense birth control, he could work at a pharmacy that does NOT provide birth control, such as a Catholic hospital pharmacy, but unless he has a very accommodating boss, he’s going to be required to dispense meds as ordered, as long as the prescription is appropriate, and the patient is not allergic to it.
But I think you know that most doctors have a little more sway with the hospital administration, than a pharmacist has, with his manager or a big corporation.
