Law - "Target Pharmacists Can Refuse 'Plan B' Prescriptions"
"Target Pharmacists Can Refuse 'Plan B' Prescriptions" is the heading of a piece today (listen here) on NPR's Day-to-Day. The blurb:
Independent companies are now joining the political fray over the emergency contraception medication known as Plan B. The Target retail chain now allows pharmacists at its stores to refuse to fill Plan B prescriptions, saying they are respecting the religious beliefs of its employees under the 1964 Civil Rights Act.For background see this ILB entry from 4/2/05 with a number of links to stories on pharmicists' refusals to fill prescriptions, and this entry from 9/4/05 which reports on how not only pharmicists, but some judges are opting out on "moral grounds."
