1. There is a growing movement of pharmacists refusing to fill women's legally prescribed birth-control prescriptions. Some pharmacists even go so far as to lecture women, humiliate them in public, or refuse to hand back the prescription after they refuse to fill it. →

    There have been a few pharmacists (a very few) try this shit in Australia, and each time they have done it the government has made not-so-subtle hints about reforming the law so as to deregulate the laws regarding pharmacies. For example, supermarkets would love the right to operate pharmacies. This would ruin most owner-operated pharmacies.

    The issue always disappears once the government fires a warning shot over the bow.

    Of course Australia is a place where even 70% of Catholics support choice in reproductive decisions, so we’re a pretty odd lot.
