OneNewsNow reports.  Excerpt:

 

"This is a clear affront and a violation of the fundamental religious convictions of the owners of pharmacies," he contends. "No pharmacist owner should ever have to choose between saving a human life and keeping their shop and business."

 

Many consider the Ninth Circuit to be the most liberal court in the U.S.

 Brad Dacus PJI

"This radical decision by the Ninth Circuit gives the green light to liberal state legislators and regulators to be able to clamp down on medical and other professionals with sincere religious convictions against supporting abortions," Dacus adds.

 

If the decision is upheld, pharmacists and owners with a conscience will have to choose between violating the law or going out of business. Dacus hopes the case will be accepted by the U.S. Supreme Court.

The AP reports that the FDA is planning to loosen restrictions on the “morning after” pill which often acts as an abortifacient and is suspected of causing severe health problems.  Allowing under-age girls to obtain this drug without consulting a physician (let alone her parents) is disturbing.

Now that a federal judge has determined (CitizenLink reports) that underage girls must be allowed easy access to the “morning after pill,” this information from FRC on the health dangers of Plan B, is very relevant.

In a victory for religious liberty and freedom of conscience, the AP reports:

A federal judge has suspended Washington state's requirement that pharmacists sell "morning-after" birth control pills, a victory for druggists who claim their moral objections to the drug are being bulldozed by the government.

The “morning after pill” (Plan B) can act as an abortifacients (abortion-causing drug) and has serious unaddressed health concerns.

Pharmacist Ethan Vandersand was fired from Wal-Mart for refusing to dispense Plan B (the “morning after pill”) to a Planned Parenthood employee.  LifeNews reports that Vandersand has won a court ruling which upheld his right to refuse to dispense a drug which can sometimes result in abortion and dismissed Wal-Mart’s attempt to have the case dismissed.

Pharmacists should have the right to follow their conscience in regard to important life issues.  For more information on Plan B visit the AdvanceUSA pro-life page.

The morning after pill (Plan B) is designed to prevent fertilization after “unprotected” intercourse but in some instances causes abortions.  Additionally, there are health risks with the morning after pill not fully known, and the risks already known are not widely publicized.

Considering these realities many pharmacists refuse to dispense the drug on grounds of conscience, but many states mandate pharmacists dispense Plan B anyway.  Now pharmacists in Washington State are fighting back with a lawsuit to protect their rights not to violate their conscience by contributing to a potential abortion.

UPDATE: The Center Blog reports on Catholic charities that are being forced to cover contraception in their employees health packages, something their church strongly opposes.  The charity has asked the Supreme Court to review its case.
