A gentle reminder to read the OP.

It does not say they refused to return or transfer a scrip.

It says they are opening under this business model.

Quote:
Where such circumstances occur, the member refers the patient to a pharmacist who can meet the patient’s needs.
They are not breaking a code of ethics.

They are opening with a religious business model, that is their business.

Also, the repeated analogies about refusing service to black people, that just doesn't work - trying to equate religious beliefs with racism. First off, people buy condoms in order to protect themselves in the choices they make. People don't buy condoms to prevent themselves from becoming black.

The one point I find dubious about their model is that birth control drugs are used for other things than birth control. That was a big push behind the attempt to get RU 486 legalized. But then the FDA would be guilty of refusal also.

It's not like there aren't a thousand places within a few miles of this pharmacy that can sell you what you need, as well as several agencies that will provide it for free.
