Court: Conscientious pharmacists must sell 'Plan B'

Charlie Butts - OneNewsNow -
The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled against pharmacists exercising their conscience.

The lawsuit was filed to block the state of Washington from enforcing a law requiring pharmacists to dispense medication in violation of their religious beliefs. That is especially related to Plan B, otherwise known as the "morning-after" pill -- which some medical professionals believe induces abortion. Brad Dacus heads the Pacific Justice Institute.

Christians in medical field face 'conscience' challenge

Pete Chagnon and Jody Brown - OneNewsNow

The CEO of the Christian Medical Association says the Obama administration is threatening the civil rights of medical practitioners. The Obama administration is moving to rescind a regulation that protects the civil rights and the exercise of conscience of medical practitioners. Under the regulation, medical workers were allowed to reject procedures if they violated their conscience. The Bush administration instituted the regulation in its last days, but it was challenged in court almost immediately.
