And so, because you openly oppose Trump, secretly inside you love Trump…but hate yourself for doing so .
Looks that way. I acknowledged my mistake.
Santorum warned 'em, but NOOOOOO…

Don’t really have a problem with a Pharmacist refusing service, however the one in this case screwed themselves.
#1 Questioning the patient in front of other customers about the prescription would be a violation of HIPPA as it is an attempt to share medical information with those that have no need to know about it.
#2 The company (in this case CVS) respects the law that allows for the exemption, but the Pharmacist is not an independent business owner, they are an employee of CVS and CVS policy was that the prescription could be refused but the manager or another Pharmacist would assist the customer. In addition the Pharmacist is required to notify CVS in writing in advance of situations where refusal could occur so that managers can have alternative plans in place. The Pharmacist didn’t do that.
#3 The Pharmacist refused to return the prescription to the patient so they could get it filled elsewhere.
From what I’ve read on it so far, the Pharmacist WAS NOT terminated for refusing to fill the prescription. The Pharmacist was terminated for failing to provide written notification in advance, for failing to provide a referral as is company policy, and failure to return the prescription (which is really the property of the patient or doctor) not the Pharmacists.

You’re not the first that posted that.
Not remotely the same thing. People who are super worried that society acknowledging the gays is gonna make people gayer, seems to me they have some internal questions about who they’re attracted to.
I’m a hard zero on the Kinsey scale, the world could be a 24/7 Pride parade-like a 1980s Greenwich Village Pride parade-and it still wouldn’t create any doubts about my sexuality.
Agreed. This issue isn’t whether the pharmacist refused to serve the customer based on religious convictions, but that they went out of their way to shame the customer and then block their ability to get served by someone else.

You intend to shame me so that I will not post in these matters. How’s that worked for you in the past?
The pharmacist was a jerk, no doubt about it. It wouldn’t be a right, but I’m not so sure the concept above is entirely accurate.
It’s blatantly illegal to steal someone’s prescription.
Some religious company, like Hobby Lobby or Chick fil a, should start a pharmacy company so these snowflake pharmacists will have a safe place to work.
Pharmacist wasn’t just taking themselves out of the equation (e.g. “My religion forbids me to be a part of this”), they were actively interfering in the doctor-patient relationship by refusing to return the prescription.

You always make the best posts. If you were Army instead of Navy you’d be close to perfect.
Didn’t say it wasn’t.
So what are you arguing here?
So you actually took a test to find out.
Interesting.
■■■■ this noise.
Yea never in my life have I even thought about having sex with another man. To be honest it kinda gives me the icky feeling but so does the thought of eating peas. Just cause I get icky feeling about people loving peas does not give me right to stop people from eating peas.
So I am 100% sure I would never have sex with man and that someone could not turn me into someone who would like that. People like person you are talking to must have attraction to men to even think they could be seduced by the gays.
Regarding the bolding…
I disagree, at the point the Pharmacist gets the prescription they become part of the patient care pipeline and they a right to self-determination of their own actions. (Now whether that conforms to the law and/or company policy of an employee is a different matter.)
#1 Arizona law does provide the right of refusal to Pharmacists so the bold statement is incorrect. (But that doesn’t mean the Pharmacist can’t be terminated for violation of policy.)
#2 Let’s say there is a patient. The patient is given a long term maintenance prescription for some condition. The patient then sees a specialist for another unrelated reason and forgets to disclose the current prescription. The specialist (based on the information they have available writes a script for medication. When the patient goes to have it filled they catch that the maintenance medication and the specialists prescription would have dangerous side effects for the patient. It should rightly refuse to fill the prescription and notify the patient.
