Washington Pharmacy Board Rethinking Proposed Rule
The Washington State Board of Pharmacy has postponed until August 31 a vote on controversial new proposed rules that would permit pharmacists to refuse to fill prescriptions for personally held moral reasons. Saturday’s Seattle Times says that the Board may be considering changes in its proposal. Gov. Christine Gregoire and women's advocates have criticized the proposal because it could hinder patient access to emergency contraceptives.
