Well in this case state law and Walgreens policy allow the pharmacist to do this.
Still dumb though cause it wasn’t for an abortion.

He is protected by state law to refuse.
As someone in the medical field....I believe medical professionals deserve this protection. This extends to pharmacists as well.
So by your logic....a nurse asked to assist with an abortion has no right to refuse?

Ah, the old fry cook gotcha. Can't argue with that one.

there are laws that protect the employee in these situations so you too are wrong. That not an opinion. Posted on 6/25/18 at 4:44 pm to lsunurse

Again....you clearly are not in the medical field.

Because the medical field deals with the actual lives of others.
Not that hard to figure out

In this specific instance the pharmacist did what was allowed by state law and Walgreens corporate policy.

You can refuse an action and face whatever consequences that exist.
Or you can be protected by your contract, like this pharmacist was.

Believe it or not a long time ago people decided that the value of someone’s life means a little more than changing a tire, serving a hot dog, baking a cake, etc.

Hospitals have rules and guidelines that say the nurse does not have to participate if it conflicts with her religious views, just as Walgreens had a policy that said the pharmacist did not have to fill the px.
So, in this hypothetical, both medical professionals would be following their employer's guidelines.

morals are in every field. IDK what you mean by this. This guy didnt want to give out abortion meds(even though they technically were for that, id didnt want to do it), A lawyer isnt mandated to protect a Muslim murderer if he feels it is against his morals, An engineer isnt mandated to design a church/mosque/temple/abortion clinic if they feel it is against their morals. So i dont know where you are going with this.

Not when state and federal laws protect your right to refuse.
This isn’t refusing to care for someone who is black or gay btw.

Seriously?
Things are a bit different when talking about human lives.

For fricks sake, read the damn article. Walgreen's policy allows the pharmacist to refuse to fill the prescription.

I’m not in the medical field, and I certainly don’t know what the solution and ramifications to said solution(s) would be, but I do know that it seems wrong to me what happened in this particular case.
There may very well be people that defend the pharmacist’s actions with sound and legal arguments , but my guess is that most Americans would think the pharmacist and Walgreens were out of line here in this particular set of circumstances. I can’t speak for every medication and every patient and every set of circumstances, but I do believe this particular woman should not have been denied this particular perscription.
