And they can, because that is the practice of most Pharmasies.
If this really is a way of keeping CVS and Walgreens from getting sued for refusing to dispense RU-486 free with every $10 purchase then these politicians aren't doing THEIR jobs correctly.
Not sure I follow your point. Yes, this is a way to protect Pharmasists from getting sued, and most states are protecting them from such suits so politicians are doing their job. But yes, more needs to be done at protecting business and people from these kind of lawsuits. However, this law goes further than most since it seems to protect the employee from the employer.
Protect an employee from his employer? Why should we?
Turn it around. Imagine a pro-life drug chain that refuses to allow any of its stores to sell RU-486. Now imagine that one pharmacist deliberately disobeys his employer by stocking and selling RU-486.
Should that pharmacist also be "protected" from his employer? Or shouldn't we allow the business owner control over his own business... There's a word for that... What is it again? Ah, yes. Capitalism.
