The Biden administration is warning pharmacies not to discriminate against women who may seek reproductive health prescriptions, including some that might be involved in ending a pregnancy.
The Department of Health and Human Services said Wednesday that pharmacies receiving federal money from programs such as Medicare and Medicaid cannot discriminate in how they supply medications or advise patients on prescriptions.
The agency noted that discrimination against people based on their pregnancy or related conditions would be a form of sex discrimination.
The announcement comes as the administration seeks to ensure reproductive health services for women following last month’s Supreme Court decision that ended a constitutional right to abortion.
On Monday, the administration told hospitals that they “must” provide abortion services if the life of the mother is at risk. The government said federal law on emergency treatment guidelines preempts state laws in jurisdictions that now ban the procedure without any exceptions. Now, all states provide an exception for the life of the mother.
The department’s guidance to pharmacies outlined several hypothetical examples of potential discrimination. They include a pharmacy that refuses to fill a prescription of mifepristone followed by misoprostol to help manage complications from a miscarriage after a pregnancy loss.
That combination of drugs also is commonly used in medication abortions.

Just as long there is no ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine involved, anything should go.
This is the same NWO regime that won’t allow pharmacists and government agencies to supply prescription Ivermectin and HCQ. Murder babies but refuse to save the lives of people.

Abortion is NOT “reproductive health” unless the woman’s life is in danger!!!!
We do. No question unless C2 controlled drugs in some instances. Plan B and Aftera are available over the counter with no prescription needed. This is just grandstanding.
No state outlaws pregnancy termination if the life of the mother is at risk
If only Jo Jo’s mom had terminated him.

Instead, she dropped him on his head.
Just like pharmacies were cautioned they had to fill HCQ and Ivermectin scripts, right?

I respectfully disagree. Medicare is essential to millions of retired Americans who otherwise would have no health insurance. I am one of those Americans and find your willingness to take away something that many depend on very disturbing and the antitheses of Christian teachings about compassion and caring for your fellow man.
Medicare isn’t “insurance”. It’s welfare. Whatever money you put into the system was gone decades ago. Your bills are being paid by other people with their money taken from them under the threat of force.
There’s nothing Christian about that.
