Isn't this a similar argument that gay marriage opponents use? Taking a narrowly scoped issue and extrapolating it to the ridiculous?
In any event, my opinion is that this should be handled within the pharmacy industry. I do not think that pharmacists should be licensed if there is a chance that their moral beliefs would interfere with the fulfilling of legally prescribed medications. Bottom line:a pharmacists job is to fill legally valid prescriptions. If you have beliefs, or disabilities, or any other circumstance that hinders this action, you aren't going to make a very good pharmacist....and shouldn't be licensed. > What about a pharmacist that refuses to hand over the prescribed Zanex > or Prozac?
