From Boing Boing, this story about a woman who went to her pharmacy to get her birth control refilled only to have the pharmacist decline because she didn't believe in birth control. The story goes on to note the growing trend in conserative states of passing laws to allow pharmacists to exercise their own moral choices even when they conflict with the patient and physician. I can see how a pharmacist might object to giving out pills that they thought could be used to purposefully OD, but to deny birth control is really, really scary.
Is this our America? Will we have a pro-Torturer AG and conservative religious values enforced throughout the country? I hope that
