A couple of comments/questions.
I think the semantics of this story are all wrong. The continued use of "refusing to sell" is misleading. That makes it sound as if he has a stockpile on hand, but refuses to distribute it. When the truth of the matter is, he simply chooses not to carry that product. I've gone to pharmacies before, with a prescription for various medicines, and been informed that they don't carry that product. They don't tell me whether that decision, is based on philosophical, financial, or logistical reasons. Simply, "we don't have that". So I go somewhere else.

In Virginia, though, pharmacists can turn away any prescription for any reason.

So they could deny someone a prescription because they are black?

Are candy and carbonated beverages against the Catholic church? I also think that it's interesting that they didn't mention cigarettes.
Lastly, I wonder if they sell Kleenex?
