Or. You know. Not.
Or. You know. Not.
Gov. Sam Brownback has signed a bill into law that would allow pharmacists to refuse to provide drugs they believe might cause an abortion.
Called the Heath Care Rights of Conscience Act, the new law would bar anyone from being required to prescribe or administer a drug they "reasonably believe" might result in the termination of a pregnancy.
Critics believe the law will open the door for a pharmacist to refuse a request for something like the "morning-after" pill, which the Mayo Clinic says can prevent or delay ovulation, block fertilization or keep a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus.
They argued that the bill puts pharmacists and physicians in a position to refuse birth control.
They said the law would affect most every woman in Kansas, especially those in small towns and rural communities since the health provider wouldn't be required to provide a referral somewhere else.
