Moral...

Walgreens pharmacist refused to provide an Arizona woman with miscarriage medication, citing his ethical beliefs. 
Nicole Arteaga was trying to pick up her prescription for misoprostol, a medication that can be used to end a failed pregnancy, when the pharmacist asked if she was pregnant and then refused to provide the medicine, according to the New York Times.
Walgreens said in a statement that the company had contacted Arteaga and apologized for the handling of the situation. However, the pharmacy chain noted that the pharmacist had not violated its policy with his refusal. 
Arizona and five other states explicitly allow pharmacies or pharmacists to refuse to provide medication because of religious or moral objections, the New York Times reported.

Then we need to know what are the moral or religion of the pharmacist Up-Front and if the law allows denying doctor's prescription regardless of the condition.
