According to the pharmacy board, the rule is that the pharmacist can deny to fill the med if it will harm the patient.  It *does not* say that the pharmacist can deny the prescription for moral\/ethical reasons.  In this case, it wasn&#8217;t an issue of harming the patient &#8212; the woman had been raped!  Instead, the pharmacist chose not to give it to her because they didn&#8217;t believe in doing so.  It&#8217;s not like we&#8217;re talking RU-486 here where it is given for the sole purpose of aborting the child &#8212; it&#8217;s preventitive medicine so that the fetus can&#8217;t form &#8212; in other words, BIRTH CONTROL.<\/p>\n<p>And for those who want to tell me that I&#8217;m a moron and don&#8217;t know what the medication does, I&#8217;ll explain how it works in plain English.  It&#8217;s basically a larger dose of birth control and causes the woman to have a brief menstrual cycle that flushes anything that could be fertilized out of the uterus.  (If you want to know how I know this, feel free to email me and I might tell you.)  It doesn&#8217;t operate on the premise that there is a child &#8212; it operates on the premise that we need to prevent the child from forming.<\/p>\n<p>Added on, the woman was raped!  It&#8217;s not like it was stupidity on the part of her or her partner or a birth control method failing &#8212; it was RAPE.  Consider this prevention of a later abortion as she probably does not want to be carrying a child that is the product of the violation of her body around for 9 months.<\/p>\n<p>(And yes, I know I&#8217;m going to catch lots of fire for this entry.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CNN.Com: Protest follows denial of morning-after pill Maybe it&#8217;s just me, but isn&#8217;t that illegal?
