Walgreens has come under fire after customer claims that pharmacists were denying birth control prescriptions and refusing to sell condoms went viral on social media. Its policy states that pharmacists can deny prescriptions if they have a religious or moral objection. USA TODAY reporting found that CVS has a similar policy.

"We have policies in place to ensure no patient is ever denied access to medication prescribed by a physician based on a pharmacy staff member’s individual beliefs," CVS spokesperson Amy Thibault said in a statement. "Under federal law, we must reasonably accommodate a religious conviction, and in certain states a moral or ethical conviction, that may prevent a pharmacist or pharmacy technician from dispensing specific medications."

    1. @Too Fast I was not insulting you or God in any way to be perfectly honest. However, if you really do feel that way, you have the choice to respond to what I have written here or not. It all comes down to how much it matters to you on what I have said. He is without sin, cast the first stone….

    2. @G L my brother in Christ it is an insult to God to say that sex isn’t for procreation how lost are you? In the Old Testament the punishment for blasphemy is death and you do not expect rudeness?
