I just started getting my pills in the mail because that's how my new job's health insurance does maintenance prescriptions. Before that, I was stuck going to Walgreens just like these women. And when I change jobs, who knows?

What upsets me is not that the pharmacists are refusing to fill the prescriptions themselves, but that they are holding the prescriptions hostage and refusing to transfer them back to another pharmacist/pharmacy. Once my doctor has given me a prescription for something, then that should be that. The pharmacist doesn't know my medical history or anything like that. It's none of his business. His job is to fill my prescription.

What if a pharmacist converted to Christian Science and started holding people's antibiotics hostage? You'd better believe there'd be an outcry. The only reason that people aren't more upset about this is that the pharmacists interfering with women's health care are practicing the nation's majority religion.
