Pro-life pharmacies are opening across the country to protect the religious beliefs of their pharmacists, The Washington Post reported. The pharmacies choose not to stock certain contraceptives. Some also refuse to sell tobacco and pornography.
"This allows a pharmacist who does not wish to be involved in stopping a human life in any way to practice in a way that feels comfortable," Karen Brauer, president of Pharmacists for Life, told The Post.
The new drugstores come in response to a growing number of lawsuits against pharmacists who refuse to fill prescriptions for the morning-after pill, birth-control pills and other forms of contraception.
