This would be funny if it wouldn’t be very sad and upsetting. Pharmacists sue the state for requiring them to do their job, saying it’s making them choose between their religion and their job? Nobody needs to make those who say this choose now, they already did…
It’s very simple people, since the day-after pill can be bought over-the-counter and, despite repeated attempts by some, people still get to decide what to do with their own bodies, a pharmacist’s job is to sell said pill to anybody who asks to buy it and refrain from any negative remarks regarding the matter.
But I do agree that the idea of being able to refuse to actually sell the pill if they can get a coworker to do it for them is silly. Don’t see how asking somebody else to do it would make any difference, since their objection is to the fact that somebody intends to take that pill. Plus that asking somebody to do something for you is like doing it yourself anyway.

You can only help somebody the way they want to be helped. If you say you chose this line of work to help people but refuse to actually do that when their needs conflict with your beliefs or morals, it means you were never interested in helping people, but just in helping yourself feel better about your own failings and perhaps less guilty about the harm you have caused to others.
I might have said that if you have objections to somebody not wanting to keep an unwanted pregnancy and give birth to an unwanted baby then you should take their place, but that wouldn’t solve the more important issue which is that we need to drastically reduce the population, which certainly won’t happen if said baby would be born. What I can say is that if you object to people having sex without the desire to procreate, you should think that they could also object to you not doing it. Do they force you to do it? Think about that…

If your beliefs or morals conflict with your job description and you can find no way to compromise, then it’s quite obvious that the two are incompatible. And if they conflict with helping people, perhaps you should think long and hard about what that means.
This reminds me of the Muslim women protesting that they’re required to reveal their faces when stopped by traffic cops. It’s obvious that they need to, since the cop wants to know that they’re really the person pictured on the license, and if they can’t do that because of their religion then it’s obvious that their religion is incompatible with the idea of a woman driving.
