It varies by State. There have been several of these cases in the news lately. There was a pharmacist fired from K-Mart for refusing to fill a prescription. She sued citing a State law that says that medical professionals can decline to perform medical procedures they are morally opposed to. K-Mart countered that dispensing drugs isn't a medical procedure. The tough part of the morality issue is in the case of people who might find themselves in a region where the customer is being refused completely legal services by all pharmacists. In the case of the woman fired from K-Mart, she has this to say, "I believe I was put in pharmacy for a reason," she said. "This was probably it — so I can go sell pro-life." -Kevin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:135168 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
