Denial of Contraception Is Immoral

Late last year, a federal judge granted an injunction allowing pharmacists in Washington to deny access to a valid, legal prescription, if they chose.

We believe the decision is wrong and are pleased it is being appealed.

While the decision means that a pharmacist can deny filling any prescription - including one for antidepressants, syringes for insulin, or AIDS drugs - the medication most often referred to in the case is emergency contraception and, specifically, the brand Plan B.
