WI Bill To Assure Access To Contraceptives Introduced

A previous posting reported on bills pending in the Wisconsin legislature to protect pharmacists who refuse on religious grounds to fill prescriptions for contraceptives (SB 155 .) Now those who support access to birth control have taken action. Today's Baraboo News Republic reports that Democratic lawmakers have just introduced a competing bill that would permit the state to punish any pharmacist who refuses to dispense legal forms of contraception.
