True, if the government fines the pharmacist then it compulsion.

But is the pharmacist acting on his or her own beliefs or the companies?

If John's Neighborhood Pharmacy, which is owned by John, and John chooses not to sell birth control, fine. Susie Shopper can go somewhere else. I think is it's own scenario.

In another scenario, Susie Shopper has been going to Walmart for years and has always bought her birth control there. John starts to work at Walmart and refuses to sell birth control, in lieu of corporate policy. Susie Shopper now has a grievence.

But what exactly is Susie trying to force on the pharmacist? That's it ok to have sex? She's asking for pills for herself. She not telling the pharmacist, "Hey, you're beliefs are wrong and I really think your wife, girlfriend or daughter should take this."

To answer your question:

No the government shouldn't compel the pharmacutical companies to make contraceptives or any drug for that matter. That's not the government's job to do that.

Pharmacutical companies are privatized and are in the business of providing prescriptions that people "choose" to use regardless of their beliefs.
