Solution to pharmacist and the Plan B pill

There is a growing problem with letting pharmacists choose what prescription they want to fill depending on their "beliefs." There are plenty state battles about legislation to force or let them. I have a solution. Pharmacies should be forced to have at least one pharmacist who will fill the prescription. This way if there is a pharmacist who won't provide a service the other guy can take over.

The "unintended" consequence is that the market value of secular or professional pharmacists will increase and market forces will push the others out. It does not strike me as unfair to ask an applicant if they are willing to perform certain tasks that they will be faced with in a job application. It doesn't matter whether they are catholic or some other religion, only that they will do the entire job they are hired to do. It also would not be unfair to not hire some one who wouldn't fulfill all the requirements. The legislation would just empower/motivate employers and safeguard the prescription system.

If not the logical extension of this pharmacists allowed to have a conscious is that scientologist pharmacist can object to any psychiatric medication since they believe it cause by alien spirits. Vegan pharmacists can object to drugs from animal byproducts etc. We have to put an end to this.
