::::As I see it, the issue isn't whether the pharmacist has the right to refuse to act against his conscience.  Of course he has that right.  The issue is whether his employer has the right to fire an employee who refuses to perform the duties for which he was hired.  Again, I say: of course the employer has that right.  Sometimes, acting according to your conscience carries consequences.  If someone worked in the PR department of a tobacco company, and decided that their conscience required them to put the words "OUR PRODUCT WILL KILL YOU!" in every PR release, I would applaud the courage required to put conscience ahead of career--but I would also support the right of the company to fire that person for not doing the job he was hired to do.  --[[User:Benp|Benp]] 17:18, 16 June 2008 (EDT)

:::::How about a doctor who works at an abortion clinic, who refuses to perform an abortion, because he is pro-life? That would just be stupid, and the same goes for pharmacists. Do your job or find another one. [[User:Etc|Etc]] 17:19, 16 June 2008 (EDT)
