At some retail locations, products generally available in that kind of business may not be available due to the business owner's choices of which products to carry. In the case of a vegan restaurant, it would be meat products.

Pharmacies sell to consumers products prescribed by doctors. Regardless of what is prescribed, some kind, brands, or types of medication may not be available due to the business owner's choices of which products to carry. They are indeed parallel.

There are those who are effectively asserting that all pharmacies should be required to carry certain products. What if that logic was applied generally to other business (examples include doctors, lawyers, FFLs, and yes restaurants). That is not a slippery slope, its a sheer cliff and not going to happen. It would be very doubtful legally presuming there was not some kind of monopoly protection.

I am not supporting a pharmacist not dispensing what is stocked due to their personal beliefs. They should be fired for that.
