You asked for ONE instance where a pharmacist refused to dispense BCP's. Well there was recently a case in Wisconsin where a pharmacist refused to fill an oral contraceptive prescription for a U. Wisconsin student- and a couple of cases in Chicago. An article in last week's Economist said that there have been around 180 complaints of pharmacists refusing to fill prescription for either oral contraceptives or emergency contraceptions like the morning after pill. There was no mention at all of RU 486 or similar. I don't know all the ins- and outs of RU 486, but I do know that it's a 2-dose treatment - meaning many doctors will dispense the medication themselves to make sure that the follow-up dosage is actually taken - so I don't think there are many run-of-the-mill take-your-script-to-the-local-drugstore prescriptions for this drug course.
Pharmacies don't have to stock every drug - e.g. Walmart doesn't carry the Morning After Pill. And I do have some sympathy with pharmacists who don't want to dispense drugs they find questionable (including abusable drugs like pain killers) in certain circumstances. However in some of these cases not only were pharmacists refusing to fill the prescription, but they were also lecturing and haranguing the women who asked for them, and in some occasions refusing to hand back the prescription note (in my view criminal).
The sad truth is that many right-wing religious groups (e.g. Ralph Reed's lot) have had their eye on oral contraceptives for some time - because the Pill - very rarely - can in fact act as an abortifacient in regular prescribed use (but if you were taking it and got pregnant, the abortifacient quality would kick in before you knew you were pregnant - so you'd in fact never know). However, I believe the real agenda is taking away people's reproductive choices - and attacking the Pill which is one of the most effective and only private method of birth control. There are organisations of radical right-wing pharmacists who are openly advocating not filling prescriptions for oral contraceptives - and not returning prescriptions. I personally don't want this radical agenda protected in law.
I just cam across this thread and you are completely right. Blood of Tyrants doesn't know what he is talking about. You can't get Ru-486 (Mifepristone) from drugstore pharmacies. Ru-486 must be taken under the supervision of a physician at a clinic or doctor office. You need to go back to the doctor or clinic at least 2 or 3 times for follow up to check if you're still pregnant ,any complications or infection and they may need to do a regular abortion if the pill didn't work.
