They are trying to get that drug approved as an OTC medication. I heard last night on the news that it's being delayed until they study more about the birth control habits of teens.
I do believe these pharmacists were out of line. Does every Catholic pharmacist refuse to fill birth control pill or Depo-Provera shot prescriptions? What if all Catholic cashiers refused to ring up condoms, foam, the sponge (in the old days)? Can they refuse such items to someone who isn't married if they don't believe in pre-marital sex?
A 30 year old co-worker of mine had a heart attack two months after her baby was born. It turns out she has a condition called post partum cardiomyopathy. She was told that she will probably die if she gets pregnant again. They can't tie her tubes because her condition is still too unstable to take the surgical risk. They won't put her on the pill because of the cardiac risks involved. She has a standing order for EC so that she and her husband can engage in normal marital relations. I sure hope she doesn't run into a clown like that one. It's not his business and it is his job to fill prescriptions ordered by doctors. He's not being asked to do anything illegal and he could be putting someone's health at risk by not filling the prescription.
