    If a pharmacist won't do his job and fill a legal prescription for a legal medication because of his religious beliefs, then his religious beliefs are incompatible with his profession and he should find another line of work. For shame, @Walgreens. 1/http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2018/06/24/walgreens-pharmacist-refuses-to-give-woman-medicine-to-induce-miscarriage/ …

        Worse than that, though. If a pharmacist like Brian Hreniuc's religious beliefs lead him to violate HIPAA while refusing to fill a legal prescription, his religion is incompatible with his profession and he should find another line of work. 2/http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2018/06/24/walgreens-pharmacist-refuses-to-give-woman-medicine-to-induce-miscarriage/ …

        As for @Walgreens, it "allows pharmacists to step away from filling a prescription for which they have a moral objection." Screw that. A pharmacy is there to serve patients, not the oh-so-sensitive religious objections of pharmacists. 4/ https://www.buzzfeed.com/nidhisubbaraman/a-walgreens-pharmacist-denied-a-womans-prescription-for …

        I've said it more times than I can remember. If your religious beliefs prevent you from doing part of your job, then you shouldn't be in that line of work, particularly a line of work that involves providing care for patients. You fail. 5/5

        Don’t shop at #Walgreens. Apparently they hire unprofessional pharmacists. It is absolutely unacceptable for a pharmacy’s employee to decide another person’s medical treatment.

        Our Kroger is closing here. I’m looking around for another pharmacy because of this. No need to go to Walgreens now.

        Why can’t MDs sell these directly to their patients?

        Apparently #Walgreens has a history of doing this. A woman was denied birth control last year at this chain too. This is not a professionally run pharmacy. Don’t shop at #Walgreens

        Has the @AmerMedicalAssn weighed in on this? How do they feel when doctors' orders are overruled by a religious tenet?

        I should imagine they’re incredibly frustrated. Unfortunately, they’re in a country where backwards, make believe stories are given credence and support.
