Remember this is not a law passed by the Legislature but a rule by executive fiat.
OK, it wasn't passed by the legislature (I thought I had made that abundantly clear in my last post, I must not have). Does that mean there are no legal consequences to Walgreen's for disobeying it?
I don't know, but I'd guess there are legal consequences to Walgreens if they ignore it. The rational response by management in fulfilling their duties to the stockholders is to do what they did. Furthermore, the compassionate thing to do for their employees is to do what they did.
The irresponsible parties are the Governor, and those calling for a boycott of Walgreens. The Governor is doing it for political purposes, to cater to the Pro-Choice crowd. But why are the boycotters beating up on the innocent? Ignorance? Meanspiritedness?
