Christian - or other religion - pharmacists who feel that the handing out of contraceptive pills would encourage or facilitate pre-marital or extra-marital intercourse are not only within their rights, but indeed fulfilling their moral and religious duties, in declining to co-operate.

  ^^Buddy, if they think they might have to handle and give out drugs they think are morally wrong, they shouldn't go for the job in the first place. If they do decide to do so they need to realize their mistake of taking the job and then either do their job or quit. If one could always claim that moral and religious duties came before their employment duties, people could get away with a lot of bad crap. If I worked at Starbucks but felt that a specific frappoccino (probably spelled that wrong) was against my religion and I refused to make and give it to people on those grounds, people would disapprove of that and I'd probably get my ass fired in the meantime.

A pharmacist is not a machine. He is a human being dispensing certain materials that, used improperly, are highly dangerous. If he has any reason to believe that a prescribing physician has failed to account for the dangers, moral or other, of any prescription, he has the right—he has the duty—not to fill that prescription.
