Not covered, IMO. A pharmacist isn’t writing the scrip and isn’t administering the treatment. They’re merely completing a retail transaction, albeit one with a lot of paperwork. If they have a moral position against doing their job as prescribed by law, they should find a new job.
A care provider, like a doctor or nurse, has personal involvement with the patient. I’m ok with refusing to perform a procedure they disagree with, as long as there is no negative impact for the patient.
Pharmacists are a strictly regulated profession. The whole job is filling prescriptions ordered by doctors and informing customers (patients) about the safe use of the substances. It’s not a creative process and it’s not their choice to prescribe or deny medication.
Last I checked bakers and photographers are barely regulated by comparison, and you could easily consider their work creative in nature.
On one side I would say what the others are replying to you said, but on the other side I could see myself not wanting to dispense the drugs for an execution. (I know they’re not going through the pharmacy, but let’s pretend they did.)
I would be inclined to say it’s not “performative” and say they have to though.
Hypotheticals are quite a useful thing when exploring ideas. And yes, I’m quite satisfied with how I approached it since I tried to contribute in a positive way rather than just go around and write shit comments that don’t benefit anyone.
What about a pharmacist refusing to fill a legal, correct, and safe prescription that they disagree with?

Humn… that’s a tough one tbh.

Using extreme is actually a common way to test scenarios…
