Here's some good news: Texas Pharmacists Fired Over Prescription:

Gallagher said Eckerd's employment manual says pharmacists are not allowed to opt out of filling a prescription for religious, moral or ethical reasons.

Herr said he did not know about that policy until his supervisors questioned him about it shortly before he was fired.

Hey Herr, guess what? Tough darts.

Pop fuckin' quiz: If you work as a pharmacist for a company that stocks the morning after pill, and you don't wanna fill prescriptions for said medicine, shouldn't you look into whether or not your employer supports you in that? I mean, do you think they're stocking the MAP just for shits and giggles?

The *irony* is that he has probably filled at least a million birth control pills, viagra and valtrex prescriptions.

The idea of a person not being able to get the prescription she needs because of some douchebag's "religious convictions" is just maddening. I can just see the woman, red-faced with embarrassment trying to argue with that pharmacist--really unbelievable.
