A pharmacist who refuses to dispense contraceptives is supposedly not placing "the well-being of the patient over the pharmacist's personal well-being." Notice how the "pro-choice" people don't want to give anyone else the choice to stick by what their own consciences tell them is in the best interest of the patient's well-being? And notice how the "pro-choice" people won't give anyone else the choice to decide that there is more than one patient involved in many forms of birth control, and that killing one of them is definitely NOT in its best interest?

"I have faced the question of how this medication works," he said. "As a professional, it's a violation of moral law if a chemical kills a child." I love how the anti-choice brigade choose to refer to an unfertilized egg as a "child".

Uhm, BannedMonique, you may want to check your facts. (I'm assuming from the venom that you're pro-abortion.) While contraceptives are meant primarily to prevent ovulation, the fact is that they DON'T always work, and fertilization can and DOES still occur, more often than you'd think. This is one reason why ads oftentimes state that the only 100% effective way of preventing conception is (ta-da) ABSTINENCE." (You can't sue a drug company if they warn you in advance their pill might not work ...) Contraceptives are also known as ABORTIFASCIENTS, which change the hormonal levels in the mother so that a FERTILIZED EGG may not implant itself in the uterus. Basically, it causes a FERTILIZED EGG to starve to death within the mother's womb. The mother then will experience what she believes is a 'period' (usually a few days later than she'd regularly expect it to come), but in reality, her body is aborting her now-dead child.

I'm sorry, but a fertilized egg is not a child. Moreover, even if we eliminated all abortions and all contraceptive use, most fertilized eggs would never result in births. The latest data suggest that about half of fertilized eggs -- and perhaps as many as two thirds -- never implant. And of those that do implant, many eventually result in miscarriages. So if the failure of a fertilized egg to implant in the uterus constitutes an abortion, I guess that makes nature, or God, the biggest abortionist around. A relative of mine has always insisted that a fertilized egg has a soul. If that's the case, then most of the souls in heaven belong to fertilized eggs that never developed.

Matt1969: "So if the failure of a fertilized egg to implant in the uterus constitutes an abortion, I guess that makes nature, or God, the biggest abortionist around." I know you know there is a difference between abortion and miscarriage - try to tell a woman who just had a miscarriage that she aborted her child and I do not think you will like the results! And by your logic the millions of people who die of natural causes every day are proof that God is the biggest murderer around, too - right? "even if we eliminated all abortions and all contraceptive use, most fertilized eggs would never result in births." so you just proved we do not need abortion and contraceptives. You are assuming that a human is not human until it is living on its own outside the mother's body. That is where pro-choice people become delusional. Now just answer this question - why is a pharmacy like this one so offensive to you? You can always get your contraceptives elsewhere. And why don't you stand up for these pharmacists' rights to follow their conscience. Why should anyone have to sell something they are opposed to if they deem it harmful? From one post-fertilized egg to another, I do agree with the last part of your statement.
