que_sara_sara points out this excellent bit of news, wherein four Illinois pharmacists who refuse to dispense emergency contraception -- thus violating Illinois law -- have been put on unpaid leave by Walgreens. The pharmacists' attorney calls the discipline "pretty disturbing". Fuckhead.
The story does sharpen one other point in my head about the ludicrousness of having to put this kind of law on the books, though: What cover-your-ass sanctimonious pro-life legislative whackjob thought that giving a pharmacist the "right" to interfere with the doctor-patient relationship on moral grounds, but then also requiring said pharmacist to take steps to see the prescription is filled anyway, does not put the pharmacist in the same moral dilemma he or she was trying to avoid?
Meantime, drop Walgreens a line and say "thanks".
