Mississippi, Arkansas, and South Dakota are three such states, and the last time I checked at least 10 other states had such legislation pending.

That's interesting, in regards to the defense of faith issue & pending legislation back in certain States.
I did a bit of quick research just now and found out that the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, which as fas as I can tell Governs pharmacists, etc. has a snippet in its code of ethics that states that if supplying the morning-after pill is contrary to a pharmacist's personal, religious or moral beliefs they are within their rights not to supply it.
I just feel like this type of stuff has no place in the workplace - beliefs like that are obviously hindering the successful functioning of the job role.
