Pro-abortion group objects to pharmacists having 'right of conscience'

The Planned Parenthood Federation of American (PPFA) is encouraging its constituents to complain to Target about a policy that allows pharmacists to conscientiously opt out of dispensing controversial emergency contraception and to refer customers elsewhere.

Some drugs such as "Plan B" have the potential to cause an early abortion, and many pharmacists object to dispensing it.

Karen Pearl, interim president at PPFA, said Target gets a "thumbs down" from her group for allowing pharmacists to have a choice.

"Women should never be denied legal medications by pharmacists who decide to impose their own personal bias on others," she said. "Target's refuse-and-refer policy is unacceptable. Our patients should be able to get prescriptions filled in any store, without discrimination or delay."

It really should come as no surprise. Those who want a "choice" to murder unborn children don't believe that anyone else should have a "choice" to follow his conscience on moral matters, unless his conscience is malformed, of course.
