It's my business when people who have been prescribed medicine cannot get that medicine because a holier-than-thou pharmacist puts his individual beliefs above the medical needs of a patient and the medical advice of a doctor.
Now, as indicated, in this particular instance, that doesn't seem to be a problem, because there are easily accessible alternatives. My concern is what would happen if such a pharmacy were to be the only reasonably accessible pharmacy. I believe that the need of the patients to have their prescriptions fulfilled outweighs the need of the pharmacist to take his moral stand.
But then you get into an obnoxious mess about what is "reasonable" access and "necessary" prescriptions. So I say, do away with it.
