Pharmacists Can't Refuse To Hand Out Plan B

Frickin' well about time. Here's the money quote:

The right to freely exercise one's religion "does not relieve an individual of the obligation to comply with a valid and neutral law of general applicability," the 9th Circuit panel wrote.

"Any refusal to dispense -- regardless of whether it is motivated by religion, morals, conscience, ethics, discriminatory prejudices, or personal distaste for a patient -- violates the rules," the panel said.

Thanks to filkerdave for the heads-up.

Off To LibertyCon

Already there, actually. ;) Opening ceremonies at 6:00, a concert tonight at 11:00, a kids' concert at 1:00 tomorrow, and another set 1:00 Sunday. And I'll be selling out of my room (213). Sadly, two guests will not be here; Chris Christopher cancelled just this afternoon, and Artist GOH Darrell K. Sweet could not make it, as his wife had a heart attack earlier this week. She should recover; we wish them both well. Fortunately, the con got ahold of Beth Willinger to fill in, and her husband B.J. is coming along. I haven't seen them in years.

Who else is gonna be there? Or, if not, what are you doing this weekend?
