The difference is that a conscientious objector was being drafted not having chosen their own career path. If my pharmacist does not believe statins lower cholesterol enough to make dispensing them a good idea, due to their side effects and they refuse to dispense them he/she is overstepping his/her bounds and should be expected to complete his job as state licensing requires. If he/she refuses to dispense Plan B because he/she feels the religious side effects are too overwhelming he/she is again overstepping his/her bounds as he/she is neither a doctor or a clergy. He/she has the right to choose another line of work that does not cause conflict with his/her faith as in the case of conscientious objectors.


The federal government has approved this medication. It is time sensitive medication and for a pharmacist to deny someone their right to a medication (especially if it is available in the pharmacy) opens up their employers to unbelievable legal risk. I hope pharmacies will be careful when selecting pharmacists.
