Imagine taking your prescription to a pharmacy and the pharmacist announces he's not filling your prescription because it violates his conscious. I'd be humiliated, embarrassed and angry. Imagine how a teenager or young adult might feel in those circumstances. Yet, increasingly that is what is happening in at least 24 states (AZ, CA, DC, GA, IL, LA, MA, MI, MN, MO, MT, NH, NY, NC, OH, OK, OR, RI, TN, TX, VA, WA, WV, WI.).
From the National Women's Law Center
These refusals to dispense prescription contraceptives or provide EC are based on personal beliefs, not on legitimate medical or professional concerns. The same pharmacists who refuse to dispense contraceptives because of their personal beliefs often refuse to transfer a woman’s prescription to another pharmacist or to refer her to another pharmacy. These refusals can have devastating consequences for women’s health.
It's bad enough we have to listen to republican presidential candidates lecturing Americans about the evil of contraceptives, but now we have to listen to our pharmacist too? If Pharmacists don't want to dispense medications they need to find another profession. Please sign the petition.
