It is impossible to treat such person with "$20k" to be take from his pocket just because of his belief. Respect people and their own decission. God bless you, Noesen and well done.

The greatest sin in many parts of our corrupt society is doing anything which intereres with woman's right to choose to kill her unborn baby. The poor pharmacist was merely swept away by violating that sacred precept.

Note to the court: There is this thing, it's been around for quite a while, it's called a telephone book. If a person wants to find a pharmacy that will dispense birth control pills, all they have to do is look it up. So now the pharmacist has to know which pharmacy dispenses birth control pills and which ones don't. Common sense, justices. A little common sense, please.

Maybe next, some court somewhere will rule that an objecting pharmacist has to drive the customer to another pharmacy.

I found it disturbing that the pharmacist has to attend "ethics" classes. He did nothing unethical. There was no life threatening situation involved. The presciption had nothing to do with treating a physical illness. The customer may be inconvenienced for a few minutes - that's it. Jeesh.
