I think a person has a right to not do a job if it violates his religious beliefs--or for any reason. To believe otherwise is to believe in slavery.
I also believe an individual pharmacist has a right to refuse to sell contraceptives. A woman's "right to choose" does not give her the right to compel someone else to give up his or her Constitutional rights. Her rights end where mine begin.
This law does not make contraceptives legal; it compels pharmacists to sell them.
Jim Crow laws compelled blacks to sit in the back of the bus. But many here apparently believe Rosa Parks did not have any right to defy those laws.
If a woman's right to contraceptives is absolute, as many here maintain, the government has no right to require a prescription for the sale of contraceptives. The government should let anyone sell them. That solves the problem.
