Via Jezebel:

A Walgreen’s pharmacist in Nampa, Idaho refused to fill a prescription for a drug to stop uterine bleeding unless the nurse practitioner revealed whether the patient had had an abortion. Clearly, if she had, she deserved to bleed to death!

Here’s what happened:

Planned Parenthood officials said the complaint states that the pharmacist inquired if the patient needed the drug for post-abortion care. The nurse refused to answer the question based on confidentiality of health information.

According to Planned Parenthood, the pharmacist then stated that if the nurse practitioner did not disclose that information, she would not fill the prescription. The nurse alleged that the pharmacist hung up when asked for a referral to another pharmacy that would fill the prescription.

Let’s give up the pretence that so-called conscience clauses are about anything other than an asshole’s insistence that he or she should have the right to fuck with other people’s lives and health.

this case is different from providers exercising their “conscience” by refusing to dispense the morning-after pill or other hormonal birth control. “Refusing a drug that stops bleeding?” she writes. “The abortion has already happened. The ‘murder’ has already taken place. And by not allowing the patient to have medicine to control her bleeding afterward, and refusing to transfer the prescription so it could be filled in a timely manner, that pharmacist was not only not ‘saving a life’ but could have caused the death of a woman in the process.” Pro-life indeed.
