I think the problem here isn't the pharmacists religious stand as much as it is the REFUSAL to transfer the prescription.

If the pharmacist cannot or will not fill the prescription written by a licensed pnysician, then he or she has a choice.
1. Return the script.
2. Transfer the script.
3. Ask another pharmacist to fill it.

No pharmacist can act as judge and jury. Nor can he or she legally hold the script and, at the same time, refuse to fill or transfer it using religion as the reason to deny service. The law is clear on this point. This pharmacist is licensed to dispense federally controlled substances.. He or she is not licensed to make personal judgement or to dispense religious dogma.
