      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

          I don't know if Bartell Drugs, our local chain, has a similar policy, but they're certainly better at (re)filling prescriptions in general. We've had bad experiences with Wallgreens pharmacy, even for non-controversial pills. :P

          The implication of "step away" is that there is another person who can fill in. Lacking that, "step away" is atrocious corporate policy.
