What is it with CVS and their ultra-conservative pharmacists?
First it was the pharmacist that refused to fill a prescription for RU-486, the “morning after pill” for a rape victim. Now one in North Richland Hills refused to fill a prescription for birth control pills!
I can understand a pharmacist refusing to fill a prescription that conflicts with their religious beliefs, but they should at least have the decency to have another pharmacist take over at that point. According to CVS, that is, in fact, their policy. “company policy also calls on pharmacists to help the customer get their prescription filled by another pharmacist in the same store or even by calling a competing store.”
