... but I must wait until October to be certain.

OMG how ridiculous is this.. So if a woman has been raped. She has to just wait an see if she is pregnant instead of getting the morning after pill as it might upset her pharmacist.

Thank you, judge for your hate-filled ILLEGAL endorsement of religion in the name of the state.

And areguments to the contraty are pure shit.

I am unsure where the hate you refer to might be, but that opinion, shit though you think it may be, is a legal ruling upholding an individual’s civil rights over those of the State.

Much can happen between now and October – if people behave sensibly. For example Illinois has settled a similar lawsuit with a compromise which enables the prescription to be filled without infringing on anyone’s first amendment rights.

When the rights of the pharmacist not to dispense something they are licensed to (moral qualms) are seen to be stronger than the rights of a woman to not be pregnant, someone needs the gift of Solomon. There are no winners.

I wonder how this would play out if there were pharmacists who refused to dispense "dick up" drugs?

Perhaps I'm missing the point, but surely, if a pharmacist refuses to dispense the morning after pill, the woman in question can go elsewhere to a pharmacist who will?

The woman still gets her pill and the pharmacist has a choice as to what he dispenses based on his personal beliefs.

Loulabelle,

No Mam, you are not missing the point. You are quite correct; the issue does not involve being able to get medication, that was never in question. The issue is if the State can compel these citizens to act in a way that violates their principles.

Further, the compromise Illinois secured squares the circle, even if only approximately.

lou,

It is the point where the pharmacist is the only supplier.

Principles vs harm.

Those who follow the link in the first post will be able to read:

"U.S. District Judge Ronald Leighton in Tacoma issued a preliminary injunction saying that pharmacists can refuse to sell the morning-after pill if they refer the customer to another, nearby source."

The issue does not involve being able to get medication, that was never in question.

define "nearby"

If I have no means of transportation and live 45 miles away from the next pharmacy does that mean I am SOL?

Lilith,

How did you get to the pharmacy?

Walked. Obviously you've never lived in a very small town. You can walk into your town but 45 miles to the next pharmacy is a bit much.

As and when the criticism becomes serious, so will my response.
