Well, I'd have to go against the grain then and say that the pro-choice side was being hypocritical. Just as the pro-choice believe that no one has a right to use the mothers body, the mother has no right to use the doctors body for performing a service she is requesting. I guess the situation with the druggist is slightly different since your not really using the druggists body to perform a service (more like you are purchasing something), but I believe that, just as how normal retailers are allowed to refuse service to individuals, druggists are allowed to refuse service to whomever they choose. You have the be under the belief that the right to refuse service is justified, right? For example, what if you owned a gun shop and you had a person come in and tell you that they wanted to buy a gun because they wanted to kill a certain person (or even you!). You don't have to sell him a gun if you don't want to. It doesn't mean that someone else wont sell him one, but at least you have the option to refuse.
I don't believe the "right to choose" is only applicable to the world of abortion. However, if a certain choice is not offered (i.e. preferring to have an abortion performed by a pro-life doctor) the you'll have to settle for something else. I believe the "right to choose" does not mean the "right to choose your choices"
