Walgreens pharmacist denies woman miscarriage medication due to his beliefs

 Sabrina Rojas Weiss,Yahoo Lifestyle 3 hours ago 

A woman in Arizona made the brave choice this week, to make a very private loss a miscarriage into a public discussion, in the hopes that her story can save other women from what she went through at her local Walgreens. The pharmacist there refused to fill the prescription required to help her end her pregnancy, citing moral objections, even though her fetus no longer had a heartbeat.

Because of a previous miscarriage, her doctor was closely monitoring her, Nicole Arteaga explained on Facebook. But on Tuesday, two months into her pregnancy, he discovered there was no fetal development or heartbeat and said she could either have a surgical D&C (dilation and curettage) procedure at the hospital or take prescription medication at home to induce contractions. When she went to pick up her medication, the pharmacist refused to give it to her.

I stood at the mercy of this pharmacist explaining my situation in front of my 7-year-old, and five customers standing behind only to be denied because of his ethical beliefs, Arteaga wrote. I get it we all have our beliefs. But what he failed to understand is this isnt the situation I had hoped for, this isnt something I wanted. This is something I have zero control over. He has no idea what its like to want nothing more than to carry a child to full term and be unable to do so. If you have gone thru a miscarriage you know the pain and emotional roller it can be.

The prescription Arteaga was trying to fill was for Misoprostol, which is commonly used to terminate pregnancies, prepare the cervix for insertion of an IUD, or treat stomach ulcers. Pharmacists have been known to refuse to give women this medication, as well as prescriptions for over-the-counter emergency contraception pills, because of their anti-abortion beliefs.

When a Doctor supplies you with a written & signed prescription, the pharmacists job is to simply supply you with the medication, with NO questions attached.

(I sure hope the failed pregnancy is not a result of Fukushima sewage, or similar stuff floating around the place)...

Fingers crossed the family recovers quickly, gets on with life, & maybe gets another chance at a new family member coming into the world.

Later,

The wacked out pharmacist needs fired and charges brought against him. That being said
I am glad that abortion will probably go back to the courts.

Now we know that from conception the zygote I's an individual
With a one of a kind set of dna not even share by its mother.

I had originally written something in this spot that was a little insensitive to the pro-lifers, so I have retracted it in the spirit of keeping this topic about the proper role of pharmacists in our lives.

That's ^^^ exactly what would go back to happening. Outlawing abortion would work about as well as outlawing guns. Neither would be an America to be proud of.
