CNN.com - Illinois governor: No delays in birth control prescriptions - Apr 1, 2005

Blagojevich’s bio says: “A former golden gloves boxer, Blagojevich is committed to fighting a system that accepts corruption, mediocrity and failure, and pledges to make everyday life better for average working families in Illinois.”

I think I like this guy.

But to the issue, pharmacists and their beliefs, and what Blagojevich has done about it in Illinois (exerpt from the linked article):

“CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) — Gov. Rod Blagojevich approved an emergency rule Friday requiring pharmacies to fill birth control prescriptions quickly after a Chicago pharmacist refused to fill an order because of moral opposition to the drug.”

This has become an issue, pharmacists refusing to fill prescriptions based on their (the pharmacists’) “moral beliefs.” What hooey! What’s next, pharmacists who agree with Knucklead Falwell’s statement that AIDS is “God’s punishment for homosexuals” and thus refusing to fill ’scripts for AIDS-related medications?

Nonsense.

I’m starting a new post on this, as I’ve been multi-tasking and have found other sources I’d like to share.
