The author conducted a survey of pharmacists' beliefs regarding abortion and mifepristone (RU-486) to determine pharmacists' perceptions of the ethical dilemmas posed by the use of abortifacients in the United States and to determine whether and how these ethical dilemmas affect practice. The sample was nonrandom and included religiously oriented pharmacists from a variety of practice settings, approximately two-thirds of whom were women. The results indicated a plurality of beliefs about abortion rarely evident in the public debate. Although the sample supported pharmacists' right to refuse to dispense abortifacients, slightly more than half (51%) of the respondents stated that they themselves would not refuse to dispense abortifacients. Most respondents (56%) believed that abortion should remain a legal option, with slightly fewer respondents (50%) supporting the position that RU-486 should be made available in the United States. Support for abortion was proportionate to the gravity of the reason underlying the decision to abort, with the sample tending to avoid absolutistic positions. These findings tend to dispel the stereotypes and myths regarding abortion beliefs in that two-thirds of the sample were Catholic and 96% of the sample rated religion as extremely or somewhat significant in their life.
作者对药剂师关于堕胎和米非司酮（RU - 486）的看法进行了一项调查，以确定药剂师对在美国使用堕胎药所带来的伦理困境的认知，并确定这些伦理困境是否以及如何影响实践。样本是非随机的，包括来自各种实践环境的有宗教倾向的药剂师，其中约三分之二是女性。结果表明，在公开辩论中很少明显出现的关于堕胎的多种观点。虽然样本支持药剂师拒绝配发堕胎药的权利，但略多于一半（51%）的受访者表示他们自己不会拒绝配发堕胎药。大多数受访者（56%）认为堕胎应仍然是一种合法选择，支持RU - 486在美国可用这一立场的受访者略少（50%）。对堕胎的支持与堕胎决定所依据原因的严重性成比例，样本倾向于避免绝对主义立场。这些发现倾向于消除关于堕胎观念的刻板印象和误解，因为样本中有三分之二是天主教徒，且96%的样本将宗教评为在他们生活中极其或有些重要。
