Pharmacists and Contraceptives
This USA Today article suggests that at least some pharamcists are simply refusing to fill prescriptions for oral contraceptives (not just the morning after pill, etc.), although it also supports Kim's point that there is more concern about abortifacients:
For a year, Julee Lacey stopped in a CVS pharmacy near her home in a Fort Worth suburb to get refills of her birth-control pills. Then one day last March, the pharmacist refused to fill Lacey's prescription because she did not believe in birth control.

Sonfield says medical workers, insurers and employers increasingly want the right to refuse certain services because of medical developments, such as the "morning-after" pill, embryonic stem-cell research and assisted suicide.
