Druggists who think "morning-after" birth control pills are tantamount to abortion can't stand in the way of a patient's right to get a prescription, state regulators said Thursday.
In a unanimous vote, the state Board of Pharmacy ruled that drug stores have a duty to fill lawful prescriptions, regardless of an individual pharmacist's personal objections to any particular medication. [Emphasis mine.]
The rule is a compromise worked out last year by Gov. Chris Gregoire, women's advocates and the Washington State Pharmacy Association.
Note that it's not even limited to individual pharmacists who refuse to sell something their employers offer. Now the state is going to force store owners to violate their consciences in their own businesses, as they've been trying to do for a couple of years. There is no other drug that an individual store is forced to stock (except ipecac, which is pretty uncontroversial). If I were a manufacturer of abortifacients, I'd be measuring myself for a yacht right about now.
There's no "compromise" involved here; it's NARAL's way or the highway. And for Catholic pharmacists, this means they either have to abandon the profession they've worked all their lives at, or abandon their faith. There is no third option. Because here in Washington, "choice" means doing as you're damn well told.
Time for Archbishop Brunett to grow a pair and excommunicate this woman before she sells us out even more to please her Planned Parenthood Pimps. No man can serve two masters, and it's pretty obvious which one Ms. Gregoire has chosen.
