Who Is Lord of the Conscience?
There is pending legislation all over the country trying to force pharmacists to fill prescriptions they have moral objections to. Many don't think it is right a pharmacist should butt into the doctor-patient relationship in regards to a legal prescription.
But why do we want to force people to violate their own consciences?
Do we force lawyers to defend people they don't want to? No.
Just take your prescription to another pharmacist. And if the pharmacist is working for a larger company, talk to management.
The world doesn't revolve around you.
