RUSH: Way back in February of 2009, at the height of the health care reform bill, Obama leaked the idea of rolling back the so-called conscience clause that the Bush administration had put in place. That was a regulation "allowing health-care workers to refuse to provide services based on moral objections..." In other words, a health care worker could not be forced to perform an abortion. A health care worker, with the conscience clause, could not be forced to pass out the morning-after abortion pill, the RU-486. "The Provider Refusal Rule was proposed by the Bush White House in August and enacted on January 20, the day President Barack Obama took office."
I remember a few stories about this. A woman would go to their local pharmacy - with a prescription - and the clerk on duty - pharmacist or whatever it was - refused to fill the prescription because it was against his/her religion.
Well - so what. It's your job to fill prescriptions, you fill them. If you don't like it, don't get that job! Obviously whatever pharmacist this was deserved to be fired - but probably wasn't.
