Williams opposes use of that pill, or any other emergency contraception taken after unprotected sex, because they can prevent a fertilized human egg from implanting in the uterus. “For me, life begins with two cells,” Williams said Thursday.
As a part-time pharmacist at a Target store in St. Charles, Williams had refused to fill such prescriptions without incident for the past five years. But she also declined to refer physicians or patients to others who would fill such prescriptions.

Heather Williams had worked at a Target store in St. Charles for five years before being fired last month. Until recently, the company accommodated her objection to dispensing the morning-after pill, her attorney, Ed Martin said.
"In fact, when she was hired, she told them, 'I have this religious belief and conscience concern,"' Martin said. "They said, 'Hey, we have no problem. It's totally OK."' . . .

She should be fired. As a pharmacist, she is not allowed to write scripts... She knew what her employer expected... She is just as guilty of selling it for the five years prior as she would have been for selling it that day... You have the choice to practice your religion in America, but you do not have the ability to impose it on others.
Silly mystics trying to get more than what you put into it.... Ted Bundy gets into the pearly gates, while Ayn Rand is sent to hell... per your equation, A doesn't equel A
