Abortion advocates in Congress have introduced new legislation that would force pharmacists across the country to dispense birth control and the morning after pill, which can cause an abortion in some instances. Under the bill, pharmacists who decline to dispense such drugs could be required to pay as much as $500,000 in fines.

Sen. Frank Lautenberg and Rep. Carolyn Maloney, both pro-abortion Democrats, are the key sponsors of the House and Senate versions of the bill, called the Access to Birth Control (ABC) Act.

For Rep. Maloney’s view:

If you read a little further, pharmacists can avoid the fine by sending their unwanted business elsewhere. As is often the case w/ Lifenews you can’t take the headline at face value.
Under the bill, pharmacies would be required to make sure there are no delays in getting birth control drugs or the morning after pill to customers “without delay.” If the pills are out of stock, pharmacies would be forced to order them or refer customers to drug stores that have them on hand.

Assisting someone to find the means for a chemical abortion is somehow less wrong?

How about in this instance, someone approaches ne to purchase a handgun to commit murder. I state that I cannot sell him a weapon, but my neighbor has one for sale. Is this situation any better?

Still makes the “pharmacist” an accessory to murger. The lifenews headline is absolutely accurate.

I agree. I also think that people should read the whole article and not rely on the headlines.

Now my opinion (worth nothing) is that there should be a written notice where everyone can read it that the pharmacy does or does not dispense specific groups of drugs(ABC, Euthanasia Compounds, etc). Some narcotics should only be dispensed by the hospital pharmacy and thus under better control. But, unfortunately it probably won’t be that hard to go down the street to get what someone wants.

Suppose the law said that if a Catholic doctor refused to perform an abortion, he had to “send his unwanted business elsewhere?” Would that not be formal participation in abortion?

Again I agree with you. All Dr’s are not required to deliver babies, do heart transplants etc. So it stands to reason that all Dr’s should not be required to do abortions, IVF, ABC or to refer them out to others. Again just a simple written statement aimed at those that wish to use a specific Dr should be available prior to seeing the Dr. This sets the limits on their practice of medicine.

I have seen some statements of standard practices in Dr and dentist offices as to what they will and will not do.

If we don’t do something aobut this latest attack on Catholic morals, we’ll soon see Catholic doctors being forced to perform aboritons.

I recall a “60-Minutes” gasping-with-alarm story on how Catholics are taking over all the hospitals and they don’t perform abortions!!

They actually had one Catholic hospital administraor and asked him, “You don’t perform all women’s health services, do you?” He said no.

I kept thinking, “What a klutz!! The answer is, ‘We do perform all women’s health services. We don’t commit murder…’”

As sad as it would make me, I believe that a Dr, Pharmacist, Hospital etc should close and stop doing “business” at all if “required” to preform services that go against their moral code.
When this happens the laws will change to allow for “personal, religious belief” at the discretion of those preforming the services.

Either that, or stay open and stand steadfast in our Catholic faith. If we are called upon to be martyrs, then martyrs we should be.

I’m not too worried about this - first, it seems rather unlikely to become law. Second, although I’m no expert in the field, it strikes me as unconstitutional - pharmacy regulation is generally an area controlled by states rather than the federal government.

Thirty-five years ago, I woud have said an attempt by the Supreme Court to make abortion legal would be unconstitutional, because that’s an are controlled by the states, rather than the Federal Government.

I’m not so sure that the laws will change because there will then be no opposing voice.
