A Muslim chemist at Lloyds Pharmacy in Thurcroft, Rotherham denied a 37 year old woman, the morning-after pill because of his 'religious beliefs'.
The woman said "I am a 37-year-old woman, not adaft girl who doesn't know what she's doing and the chemist has no right to tell me whether I can or can't take the pill. It's my choice not his. It is his religion not mine. He's adispensing chemist and his job is to dispense drugs.
The Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain allows this kind of behaviour.

It's a very sticky situation. Though as to why people are surprised Catholics, the ones who don't believe in any type of birth control, are denying it, I'm not sure. For one, taking a life is a sin in Christianity and more so when it's the life of an innocent person. But the rape itself was a grave sin. It's the whole sin begets sin thing. Ideally, if the woman were a practicing Christian, she would find a way to carry the child to term. Which is a terrible thing to imagine, as a Christian. Where I stand, most unwanted pregnancies come from one night stands, casual sex, or just plain carelessness. It's a mistake people make, and they should live with the consequences. But a lot of women that are raped didn't do anything wrong. That is, the sober women who happened to be alone at the time. And the raper probably isn't going to stick around to deal with his mistake, so that point's moot. Furthermore, the unwanted child would be a constant reminder of a traumatic night. But, if you think about it, all children are constant reminders of a painful childbirth. So after all that rambling, I don't have an answer from my own mind and rationalization. But as for the hospital, it's just a hospital. It's not like these women are being forced to go there, they chose it and they can find another place to go if they still want the morning after pill. I can see the concern about their influence spreading, but that means they aren't big right now and I fail to see the hospital as a serious problem.

So what's next, refusing to dispense Aids medication because one doesn't approve of homosexuals?
Surely the role of a pharmacist should be to dispense the drugs that the doctor has prescribed, regardless of the pharmacist's private beliefs.
Or, if there really is an issue, to at least notify the general public with a sign on the shopfront saying what the pharmacist will not dispense so that people are not humiliated/offended by these kinds of moral judgements.

It's not about the Muslim behavior,But duty of a registered pharmacist to give the guidelines to the patient.Sit down with him or discuss with him. Some of the pharmacy also provide quick Dr service on the spot,discuss with him/her.

My religion forbids me to prescribe anti cancer drugs. I hope one day he comes to me. Then he'll know what it feels like.
Seriously, he should be thrown out of the job and the country along with all his concubines.
