If I were in his shoes I too would refuse to prescribe abortion pills, for abortion purposes. Even if I wasnt a religious person, there are plenty of atheists who are also pro life, and this to me is a human thing, not a religion thing. I want no part in taking a human life, and if that means getting sued or losing my job, so be it.
With that being said, if a woman told me her baby had already died and the pill would simply be used to get the already dead baby out, I would take her word for it. As a pharmacist he should know that particular medication is used for abortion *as well as* in the case of a miscarriage. Someone may or may not lie about it, but at that point it is out of my hands. Charity is an important part of our beliefs, and I would believe a woman who told me she had lost her baby.
Shame on this man for making a woman who just lost 2 babies have to deal with this.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
