Well, personally, I find it shocking. I think some fields should be regulated more than others, and that applies to pharmacies. And that you can't let personal feelings of pharmacists enter in this, much like doctors are bound by the hippocratic oath. So if a product (birth control) is legitimate, then it should be available, and the pharmacist should not be able to deny it to customers. I don't particularly care if the right of the pharmacist to do whatever they want is infringed upon; in many ways they're already a heavily regulated business in what they can sell or not, and that's the way it should be in my opinion.
But it's not like I'm a libertarian anyway.
