Four pharmacists in IL are suing Walgreen’s because they were fired for not dispensing the morning after pill.  They allege that being forced to dispense the medication is a violation of the Illinois Health Care Right of Conscience Act, which allows health care providers to opt out of procedures they object to on moral grounds.  Now Walgreen’s does allow pharmacists to not dispense drugs, but they must find another pharmacist who will.  These four were working a night shift and the only ones on duty so they did not have anyone else to fill the prescription.  By refusing to fill the prescription they cost their employer money and thus deserved to be fired.  This is not an pro-choice or pro-life argument.  It’s about 4 people who refused to follow company policy.
