Is it really being judgemental, what is judgemental about it? He is simply saying he does not believe in it personally therefore chooses not to sell isn't that his prerogative. It happens that he is the only pharmacist in the community which blocks access to those wishing to use it but if there were another pharmacy it would not be an issue. Perhaps one day another one will open if as the town grows. In the meantime could this be an opportunity for another source or distributor in his community to supply contraceptive pills so that they are still accessible but his moral code is not breached? or for scripts to be faxed to the next door towns pharmacist and couriered in bulk?
