Wow. I would never expect a Catholic hospital to provide abortions, eg,
but
pharmacists refusing to fill prescriptions?? It may not be illegal, but
it's surely sick.

I try not to do off-topic in this news group, but at 9 PM on Friday, the GOP
added language to the budget bill that will be voted on Saturday to the
effect that "would also allow hospitals and health care providers to opt out
of state and local laws that require them to provide abortions, abortion
counseling or referrals."

So much for state's rights.

Call your senator and representative if you are so inclined. An issue like
this at least deserves a hearing and not legislative sleight-of-hand. The
light of day is the protector of democracy.
