A woman in Arizona says a pharmacist denied her a doctor-prescribed medication meant to end a pregnancy that was not viable, the Arizona Republic reported.  Nicole Arteaga found out last week at her 10-week pregnancy check-up that her unborn child no longer had a heartbeat and that she would have a miscarriage. But the pharmacist at a local Walgreen's would not fill her prescription for a medicine to terminate the pregnancy due to personal beliefs, she recalled in a Facebook post that's gone viral.  In Arizona, it is still legal for a pharmacist to refuse to fill prescriptions based on religious or moral beliefs. The story drew thousands of outraged comments on social media.
