Guess why!

IdahoPress.com | Planned Parenthood files complaint against Nampa pharmacist

Quote:

Idaho Board of Pharmacy Executive Director Mark Johnston confirmed that the board received the complaint alleging that on Nov. 6 a Walgreens pharmacist refused to fill a prescription ordered by one of Planned Parenthood's Boise-based nurse practitioners. The prescription was for a Planned Parenthood patient for Methergine, a medicine used to prevent or control bleeding of the uterus following childbirth or an abortion.

[...]

Planned Parenthood officials said the complaint states that the pharmacist inquired if the patient needed the drug for post-abortion care. The nurse refused to answer the question based on confidentiality of health information.

According to Planned Parenthood, the pharmacist then stated that if the nurse practitioner did not disclose that information, she would not fill the prescription. The nurse alleged that the pharmacist hung up when asked for a referral to another pharmacy that would fill the prescription.

The Tumblr page I found it on pretty much says it all:

Apparently, pharmacists not only think they should get to deny wome access to birth control, think they should be allowed to punish women with the death penalty too.

The above is why I refuse to call the anti-choice lobby “pro-life”. They’re not. “Pro-lifers” don’t care about your quality of life, or your life, or your right to your body. They care about imposing their views on you at any cost, even if it kills you.

He didn't get fired?? He didn't do his job- he refused a legal prescription that she needed. Who cares what she needed it for? It's none of his business. What an a**.


That's what I hate about the anti-choice movement. It's none of ANYONE'S business what a woman does with her body except for her and her doctors. Nobody needs to know about any procedures or medical information.
