tikistitchRegulators endorse "refuse and refer" for morning-after pill
OLYMPIA - Druggists who personally oppose morning-after birth-control pills could refuse to sell them under a rule endorsed today by state pharmacy regulators....
"The governor isn't a pharmacist," said board member Donna Dockter, a Seattle pharmacist who led the push to give her colleagues broader discretion in filling prescriptions....
C.J. Kahler, a past president of the Washington State Pharmacy Association, said the rule would properly respect the rights of both patients and drug providers.
Dearest Ms. Dockter and Past President Kahler,
Since the early spontaneous abortion rate is thought to fall somewhere between 15% to 60% (see, for example, this New England Journal of Medicine abstract), will you please sign on to my new legislation?? It will allow grocery store clerks to refuse to sell sanitary napkins if their conscience prevents it. I'm sure it will not inconvenience you in any way (unless of course you've just started your period and are in a cranky mood anyway).
