I came across a story this morning. A local woman was pregnant and the baby stopped developing around the two-month mark. Her doctor told her she could either have a D&C or use medications to finish the process. She chose meds and went to a local pharmacy to get them, at which point the pharmacist very publicly refused to fill the prescription. From what I can tell, their debate about the medication was loud enough that everyone in line heard why the woman was there and the woman ultimately left in tears- in part because this was a pregnancy she was excited about and was already devastated over the loss and in part because he was refusing to help and embarrassed her. He never said anything about transferring the prescription, but ended up having another location fill it after she left.
It sounds like he took this as a pro-life debate, despite the fact that the pregnancy was no longer viable. I'm not even sure that's relevant, but it might be to you.
Is there fault here and, if so, who is at fault? What should the pharmacy and pharmacist have done?
