Druggists suspended in debate over pill

Pharmacist John Menges became accustomed to filling as many as 40 birth-control prescriptions while working the night shift at the Walgreens in Collinsville, he said Tuesday.

But Menges, an anti-abortion Catholic who lives in Edwardsville, said he drew the line at dispensing emergency contraception commonly known as the morning-after pill because he views it as a form of abortion.
It is EXACTLY a form of abortion - is it not prescribed to effect a chemical abortion if the woman has conceived? A Catholic, pharmacist or otherwise, would incur excommunication for facilitating an abortion. As a Catholic, Mr. Menges could not morally do what God has forbidden - nor should any Christian. He and the others certainly need our support and prayers.
