Minnesota Women deserve
GUARANTEED Birth Control Dispensation!

The Pharmacists' Refusal Clause that CVS Pharmacy adheres to allows individual pharmacists to refuse to fill legally prescribed medications because of their own "moral objections" to the medication.

"For a year, Julee Lacey stopped in a CVS pharmacy near her home in a Fort Worth [Texas] suburb to get refills of her birth-control pills. Then one day last March, the pharmacist refused to fill Lacey's prescription because she did not believe in birth control. ‘I was shocked,’ says Lacey, 33, who was not able to get her prescription until the next day and missed taking one of her pills. ‘Their job is not to regulate what people take or do. It's just to fill the prescription that was ordered by my physician.’”

According to CVS Pharmacy’s Official Corporate Policy, individual pharmacists have the right to refuse to fill any prescription on the basis of 'moral beliefs'.
