Target Pharmacist Refuses to Fill Emergency Contraception Prescription -- Fight Back

In the States | Pharmacist Refusal | Missouri

A 26-year-old Missouri woman was refused EC when she handed her prescription to a pharmacist at a Target store in Fenton, MO, on September 30. The woman was told by the pharmacist, I wont fill it. Its my right not to fill it. She was told that she could go to a local Walgreens instead. The woman said, When the pharmacist told me she wouldn't [fill the prescription], I went from disbelief to shock to anger. I guess I'm still pretty angry. It seems unbelievable to me that a medical professional could/would deny access to a federally approved drug and impose their personal beliefs in a professional setting. I am also grateful that I did not need it filled at that time. I don't know how it would be if I had just been raped or if the condom broke and I was a feeling confusion and panic anyway -- and then was denied access and told to go across the street.

The national headquarters of Target has not responded to three PPFA attempts to clarify its policy on pharmacist refusals. Tell Target to clarify its policy!
