Hey guys. I'm a pre-dent taking a health ethics class this semester and I've got an interesting paper assignment and I was hoping I could hear from some pharmacists or pharmacist students on what they think of the matter.

Should pharmacists be allowed to refuse to fill prescriptions on moral grounds? I.e. not give out morning after pills because of a belief that it is in essence an abortion. That's not the only example of course, but that's the type of issue I am talking about.

Just curious to hear what your stances are, and why you feel that way.

Closing because this was already posted in the pharmacy forum. Please post topics only once, per the SDN terms of service. Anyone who wants to discuss this, please go the the Pharmacy Students area.

Thanks!
