She just told me that she will not fill it. That she's Catholic, and it's murder," Doe said.
Then, she said, before a crowded waiting area, the pharmacist berated her.
"'You're a murderer. I will not help you kill this baby. I will not have the blood on my hands,'" Doe said. "I tried to explain to her that it's emergency contraceptives, that it's not an abortion pill. She then snatched the form from me, that the prescription was attached to, telling me the paper was full of lies, and she won't be a part of it. I was crying, shaking, upset, so embarrassed. I wanted to run out of the store and hope nobody else could get a good look at me."

"It's a chemical abortion. If there is a fertilized egg, it prevents it from implanting, which causes a chemical abortion," Long said.
"Isn't this pill legal?" the staffer asked.
"It's legal. It's legal, yeah," Long said.
I'm just confused. I don't know why, if it's legal, why can't have it?" the staffer asked.
"Regular abortion procedures are legal also, but not everybody in the country believes in it," Long said.

"She became pregnant. She had an abortion. She says that it was because you wouldn't fill her morning after pill prescription," Henry told Long.
"This is the first I'm hearing about it, so I'm not really prepared to comment on that," Long said.
Long told 12 News she feels strongly about her beliefs and would like to talk more about them, but Walgreens advised her not to comment, and told Henry they have no official record of the woman's complaint.
