Eckerd did the right thing here.
As for the pharmacist - he knew this was going to happen eventually, and he lost his job because of what he did. I hope he thinks God will take care of him in the unemployment line.
I have huge flaws with the role of faith in the medical system. For those of you who don't know, I attend a Jesuit school. I had to have emergency surgery over Christmas break, and I was getting followup care from the Student Health Services. I had a nurse flinch at me when I told her I was on the Pill, and she also told me that my surgery was "God's way of telling me to slow down." I don't think God had me born with a problem so that 20 years later it would manifest, but I digress - I don't think faith belongs in medicine to this extent. I'm a halfpracticing Catholic, and I was offended by what she said - how would one of our atheist/agnostic/something non-Christian students feel?
I wonder if this man was comfortable dispensing birth control, since this is the EXACT SAME THING.
