Drug Store Suspends Objecting Pharmacists Because of Illinois Law

Illinois law requires pharmacies to fill all prescriptions on a timely basis. KSDK News reported yesterday that Walgreens has put four Illinois pharmacists on unpaid leave for refusing to fill prescriptions for Plan B, also known as the "morning after pill." The pharmacists say that filling the prescriptions violates their religious beliefs. Walgreens says that refusing to fill the prescriptions places the pharmacy's license at risk.
