      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 once met a Jehovahs Whitness who was a medical technologist and worked in a blood bank. That’s takes both strength and courage. Something this pharmacist lacks.

          In my experience in the UK we deal with some Muslim faith doctors who will not fill out a Cremation form 4 a deceased patient because they do not agree with cremation. They may b the only doctor available that can complete it but it will not get done because of their own beliefs

          THIS scenario is why, before almost any healthcare interaction, many women calculate the odds that our autonomy will be usurped. Then we figure out our personal risk mitigation plan. Then we make a less than ideal decision.

          Imagine if this woman was gay, and he refused to fill ANY of her medications? Imagine if she had been raped? Imagine.....imagine....imagine. Guess what, the scenario doesn't matter, it's literally NONE of his professional or personal business.
