If I may butt in for just a moment.

There are a number of behaviours that the state compels of us regardless of our moral stance on pain of punishment. These vary from wearing clothes in public through payment of taxes and particular road behaviour to restricting our ability to harass and kill others.

Should a pharmacist be allowed to withhold medicines for STIs (you shouldn't have done that sonny because of the Commandment), Morphine for chronic pain (you'll get addicted to that and become a godless junkie) contraceptives (it encourages people to break the sixth commandment) or Methadone (you shouldn't have got hooked in the first place)?

If you find yourself in a job which conflicts with your morality, why should your customers who come to you in good faith suffer because of your conflict?
