HB 2884 paassed out of committee Monday night. It is now authored by Representative Thad Balkman of Norman, Oklahoma. It has the following language:
No pharmacist, nor any agent or employee of a pharmacist:
1) Shall be prohibited from refusing to provide contraceptive procedures, supplies, and information when refusal is based upon religious or concientious objection.
This language if passed into law will allow pharmacists to refuse to fill prescriptions for birth control if they so choose. If they are the only pharmacist in town....women are just out of luck. It is clear that they plan to prevent women from using birth control if they can.
