Just sue the piss out of Meijer and the pharmacist. Take everything he owns , destroy his life. Let god handle the rest

Should be illegal. Don't be a licenced pharmacist if you cannot fill the prescriptions customers being in.

Reliefcp I’m sure he’ll promptly resign as pharmacist since now he knows he’s literally unable to simply do his job!

He should be fired. If u want to do that crap, than open your own pharmacy. meijer fire him

That’s like working with nurse that claim they can administer blood because it is Again’s their religion. Well as a nurse you should have thought about that before becoming a nurse. Resign

Thai reminds me.... when does the new season of The Handmaiden’s Tale return?

She should not have to explain herself or her medical info to get a prescription filled. He violated her privacy. What is Meijer and the mans liability if the patient would have complications due to his refusal to fill the prescription her doctor approved for timely treatment?

DameEmpress Oh good grief. If your religion prevents you from doing your job, get another job.

It’s none of his DAMN business what she is using the Medication for, he’s not her Doctor, just do your job or lose it (which is sounds like he did) GOOD!!

Then go to another pharmacy, lady!

Only thing the pharmacist did wrong was deny access to another pharmacist after she requested one.

Religion is nuckinfuts!

Then he shouldn’t be a pharmacist.

Glad he was fired. You can not jeopardize another’s health because of your own religious beliefs. That’s taking things to far. This isn’t a wedding cake. This is a human life.

That’s him kneeling at work...where’s the outrage 🤷🏽‍♀️

Welcome to lawsuit city.

How does he get to decide?

So why is this person in the medical field then? Sad..

Being a douche all in the name of religion! Well played terrible pharmacy employee.

He is so fired

BS. I had a miscarriage...doctor said to go to emergency room. She had a morning after pill?

Her OBGYN prescribed them. A pharmacist should never invoke religious beliefs. Imagine a Hindu who works at McDonald’s denying customers a Big Mac. This religious belief doctrine is dangerous and unacceptable

The attack on religion continues. I’m sure there isn’t another pharmacy that could help her. He should help her -but not be forced to

Well then find another job you were there to serve the public not your religious beliefs

What about her privacy? A pharmacist can't ask someone's medical history before filling an MD-prescribed medicine. He is only assuming the use, So, whose 'rights' prevail? Her medical privacy or his right to assume her medicine is for something he religiously disapproves?

I hope he was fired!

Yes...I remember this story from last week. 😢.

Just go to a different pharmacy.. it not consistent with the fact he can have his beliefs too...

Wow....when this stuff happens it needs to be posted......propagated. C'mon

Bet he has no problem filling out prescriptions​ for Viagra.

Madhouse.

Ironic that this guy, a Catholic, had issues filling this drug, but has no problems supporting a church that has been ok with child sexual abuse for generations.

Oh get over it. She didn’t want another pharmacist (on duty) to fill her prescription. She’s causing this ruckus on purpose to gain some publicity.

So why do these corporations hire ppl that refuse to do their job?

This was going to happen, it was only a matter of time. I’m surprised it took this long

All man. Now what now. Shouldn't matter if they religion or not. That's crazy. I have well then really wish then luck. That don't give up hope. I'm sure that someone can help that woman. Really do. I'm so so so sorry had to happen. I'm glad the woman is feeling better for now 👍

So fire him. Simple solution.

Did NBC even attempt to reach out to the pharmacist for comment?

Fire him.

Why don't folks admit there is more than one pharmacy?

On how the far left-wing and far right-wing are exactly the same thing:

To treat or cause a miscarriage?

Then fire the SOB.

Because when a woman is in that sad situation, what she really needs is some guy judging her and making decisions for her. 🙄

1. it was a miscarriage not an abortion, so this pharmacist is either stupid, an asshole, or both 2. IANAL, but i'm pretty sure denying medication like that, especially medication intended to treat miscarriage, is illegal, or ought to be. either way this guy needs to go.

How about, if you can't do your job, go find a different one. No one told you to be a pharmacist. A...It's none of your damn business. B...depending on the med, it could be a matter of life and death, dispense the damn med. Your views don't flipping matter here.

If he can't do his job he shouldn't have it.

Then, he should get a different job.

What can you really say about that...

I would say let's boycott meijer but I dont think anyone shops there. Regardless, the 'GoodCatholic' needs to be fired.

He wouldn’t kill her baby!? Fire him!-this comment section

Stuff in pharmacies is pretty dangerous too.

‘A good Catholic male’ that thinks he is entitled to control the health of a woman. This is SO disturbing.

Thank god he was fired. I get adhering to religious beliefs. But it’s another to be an asshole about it which is what he was to her, which goes AGAINST religious beliefs. Hypocrisy at its finest

Ooohhhhh my god 😤 oh - you opened a can of worms 🐛 that you ain’t ever gonna get - that lid - back the hell on the jar 🏺HesOutOfHere Michigan

Killing babies goes against his constitutional right to not be a murderer. Congratulations on your undead child.

They should update their policy to ban all religious belief when they ask for abortion pills and other medications.

This has to be at least the 50th time you posted this story.

He should be fired

This pharmacist should lose his licence. This is unacceptable and unprofessional. Religion interfering with healthcare is bullshit. Period.

Ok, that's just refusing to do his damn job, and likely breaking several laws at the same time

He should be fired
