A Minnesota woman is suing after a pharmacist did not fill a morning after pill prescription because it violated his beliefs.
AITKIN, Minn. – A Minnesota woman said she had to drive more than 100 miles for emergency contraception after she said a pharmacist denied her prescription because of his religious beliefs. The woman is now suing.
The documents said when Andrea Anderson’s contraception failed, her doctor wrote her a prescription for the morning after pill. However, the Thrifty White pharmacist on duty said he wouldn’t fill it because of his “beliefs.” “If you live in Minneapolis and a pharmacy denies you access to morning after pills, you may be upset, but you can go down the street. But in many areas there’s really not many options, so these denials weigh very large just in a practical manner,” Hasday said.
“There’s no factual dispute about what happened,” Hasday said. “It’s just a question of law. This is the first case in Minnesota that really raises the question of: Is denying women access to birth control a violation of their protection from sex discrimination under the Human Rights Act?”
