CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- Gov. Rod Blagojevich approved an emergency rule Friday requiring pharmacies to fill birth control prescriptions quickly after a Chicago pharmacist refused to fill an order because of moral opposition to the drug.
My favorite part:
"No delays. No hassles. No lectures."
and the Planned Parenthood rep naturally had some quality input:
"When medical professionals write prescriptions for their patients, they are acting in their patients' best interests," Trombley said. "A pharmacist's personal views cannot intrude on the relationship between a woman and her doctor."
THIS is what I'm talkin' about, people!

Should this really have to be such a big deal these days? Telling a pharmacist to fill a prescription should not require it's own emergency bill. I mean really.
