If health care workers don't do their jobs, they should be fired.

Rush had this to say in his monologue on the outrage of Catholic hospitals about being forced to give out contraceptives for free:
RUSH: Way back in February of 2009, at the height of the health care reform bill, Obama leaked the idea of rolling back the so-called conscience clause that the Bush administration had put in place. That was a regulation "allowing health-care workers to refuse to provide services based on moral objections..." In other words, a health care worker could not be forced to perform an abortion. A health care worker, with the conscience clause, could not be forced to pass out the morning-after abortion pill, the RU-486. "The Provider Refusal Rule was proposed by the Bush White House in August and enacted on January 20, the day President Barack Obama took office."

I remember a few stories about this. A woman would go to their local pharmacy - with a prescription - and the clerk on duty - pharmacist or whatever it was - refused to fill the prescription because it was against his/her religion.

Well - so what. It's your job to fill prescriptions, you fill them. If you don't like it, don't get that job! Obviously whatever pharmacist this was deserved to be fired - but probably wasn't.
