9th Circuit Okays Injunction Protecting Pro-Life Pharmacists
A federal appeals court has upheld an injunction in a lower court ruling that halted a new state requirement forcing pharmacists to fill prescriptions for all drugs. The mandate included drugs that would violate their moral or religious beliefs of pharmacists who don’t want to be involved in abortions.
Washington state pharmacists who are pro-life were worried they could be forced to dispense the morning after pill or birth control drugs.
Under pressure from pro-abortion Gov. Chris Gregoire, the pharmacy board approved the rules in 2007.

Thanks for the good news!
Why would you ever want to unnecessarily force someone to affirmatively violate their own beliefs? I don’t comprehend that kind of thinking.
