I've read the OP about 50x now, and I can not find that quote anywhere in the text. Could you please point it out?

It's not in the OP, it's in the Pharmacist's Code of Ethics quoted upthread.

Actually, I didn't make an analogy or equate anything. I asked a question because the original article states "In Virginia, though, pharmacists can turn away any prescription for any reason." Being black is a reason.

I think any LEGAL reason is assumed here. You can't deny service in violation of the law. It may be debatable if denial of birth control to anybody is a violation of civil rights. I really think the fact that many health plans that DON'T pay for women's birth control DO pay for Viagra is unethical.
And as far as the Wisconsin case, where the scrip was not returned, that WAS against the law, and the pharmacy was sanctioned.
