I don't agree with you on this one

If all doctors are NOT required to perform abortions, then why should ALL pharmacists be required to perform pharmaceutical abortions? To me, it comes down to the same process as getting an abortion. You go to where they are offered. Same thing for the Plan B prescription, you go to where it is offered. I did consider the fact that most insurance plans require their customers to use specific pharmacies, but given that most insurance plans don't even cover birth control pills, I don't think they cover Plan B and therefore asking the woman to go to the next corner where there is a Walgreens or the next corner where there is a CVS or the next corner where there is a Rite Aid is NOT a big inconvenience. It's just like having to go to the larger cities to have an abortion. It may require a short drive, but if you want or need it bad enough, you do it

Actually, Plan B is NOT an abortion pill... it is a contraceptive. http://www.go2planb.com/ForConsumers/Index.aspx. "Plan B® prevents pregnancy by temporarily stopping the release of an egg from a woman's ovary, or it may prevent fertilization. In addition, emergency contraception can also make the uterine lining inhospitable for implantation by disrupting normal hormone patterns. Emergency contraception will not cause an abortion if a woman is already pregnant

Still don't have me

Thanks for making it clear how the Plan B scrip works. However, I still disagree that pharmacists should be forced to fill the scrip. According to the reading I have since done, the pill can either stop the egg from being released or stop a fertilized egg from being implanted. Considering that some people's religious beliefs don't even believe in using birth control (damn catholics), I can see an argument from their point that stopping a fertilized egg from implanting is the same as aborting an embryo
