Fill the Script!

From MSNBC.com:

Druggists who believe “morning-after” birth control pills are tantamount to abortion can’t stand in the way of a patient’s right to the drugs, state regulators have decided.

In a unanimous vote Thursday, the state Board of Pharmacy ruled that drug stores have a duty to fill lawful prescriptions despite an individual pharmacist’s personal objections to any particular medication.

We Say: The last time I checked, the Docs wrote the scripts, and the pharmacists fill them. Why are they reinventing the wheel here? Then again, couldn't the pharmacist with an objection simply not stock a particular medication at their pharmacy?
