Rape Victim Claims She Was Denied “Morning-After” Pill Because Of Pharmacist’s Moral Objections

Although it is safe, effective and legal, emergency contraception – the “morning after” pill – can be hard to find in Tucson.

After a sexual assault one recent weekend, a young Tucson woman spent three frantic days trying to obtain the drug to prevent a pregnancy, knowing that each passing day lowered the chance the drug would work.

While calling dozens of Tucson pharmacies trying to fill a prescription for emergency contraception, she found that most did not stock the drug.

When she finally did find a pharmacy with it, she said she was told the pharmacist on duty would not dispense it because of religious and moral objections.

There’s a special place in hell for that fucking pharmacist.

There’s also a special place in the Maricopa County Correctional Facility.

    The Constitution doesn’t require a religous test to hold political office but you have to pass a religous test to be a patient?? Maybe we just need some state and Federal Laws that require health care professionals to dispense any and all LEGAL drugs in order to remain LICENSED to practice.
