Should a retail pharmacist be allowed to deny access to birth control because of his/her religion?

If so why. If not, why not?

Or, the pharmacy could just not stock the product. You can't sell what you don't have.

But that would only last so long. Of course then, a left sided congress could enact a law requiring pharmacies to stock such products or a left sided administration use his/her executive order to "make laws" that would require pharmacies to stock such products, and then enact yet another law that would make it unlawful for a pharmacy to either not stock the product or to refuse to sell it. Progressivism in action.

Let me get this straight as you seem reluctant to answer directly. You seem to be avoiding saying that a pharmacy should be able to not sell anything according to their religion while saying it is alright, in your opinion, not to sell any kind of drug they want. Do I have that right?

If so, why call it a pharmacy?

To be more specific. If I were a pharmacist and owned my own pharmacy (there are still some left); and, if the use of birth control products were against my religious beliefs, I simply would not stock such products. The would be buyer has the option to shop elsewhere.

I wanted a pair of P. F. Flyers that are made in the U.S.A., because I was always able to run much faster with them than other "sneakers." The sporting goods store that I went to did not stock P F Flyers. They specialized in Nike, which are mostly made in China, Indonesia and Vietnam. I was free to shop elsewhere. Would I use that particular sporting goods store in the future. Sure, just not for sneakers. I wouldn't make an issue of it.

OK you are still a bit evasive about the religious thing. May I ask you that directly?

And while we are at it may I ask if, in general, you support the "right not to sell".

If there is a state licensing requirement that prohibits a pharmacy from refusing to offer the regulated drugs, then I don't believe they should be allowed to deny birth control. If there is no requirement then yes. Personally, in my opinion, there are fields of professional employment that by their very nature, should be avoided if by applying the trade 100% would violate one's beliefs. I'm all for freedom but there are life and death issues involved in prescription drugs. And the consumer cannot buy them outright.

Any business should be able to deny sales to whomever they want imo.
