Stop Being A Pill and Fill My Prescription Already

More developments on the pharmacists-against-birth-control debacle.

The group responsible for denying women birth control and morning-after pills is called Pharmacists for Life International, and they morally object to birth control, so they refuse to dispense it.

Jabari Asim, a columnist with the Washington Post sums it up nicely:
"Will female air travelers who carry contraceptives on board eventually be required to carry parachutes, just in case a pilot's conscience finds their presence objectionable? If your personal beliefs hinder your ability to do your job, it may be prudent to look into another line of work. "

I couldn't have said it better myself.
