Moral And Religious Objections My Behind!

This is sheer madness! A pharmacist's job is to dispense medicine, not make judgements on the people with valid, legal prescriptions!

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.

'I was so shocked,' said the 20-year-old woman, who, as a victim of sexual assault, is not being named by the Star. 'I just did not understand how they could legally refuse to do this.'
