In an era when faith can be a professional liability, a new trend in pharmacies is championing conscience. Pro-life drugstores are cropping up across the country to counter the growing pressure in the medical community to surrender religious and moral conviction in patient care. These pharmacies will resemble their counterparts with one major exception; they will not stock contraception or pill regimens like Plan B that can act as abortifacients. As states like Washington, California, New Jersey, and Illinois outlaw "conscience exemptions" for pharmacists, these pro-life drugstores may be the wave of the future. Although some decry the pharmacies as discriminatory, it is well within the proprietors' rights to adhere to a higher moral code than political correctness. If customers don't like it, they are free to take their business elsewhere. A spokeswoman for the National Women's Law Center claims that "[c]ontraception is essential for women's health... [This idea] could endanger women's health." On the contrary, what endangers women's health is the propaganda by Planned Parenthood and others that insists "emergency contraception" is safe, when it can and has caused serious side effects. The lack of contraception isn't killing any woman. Sexual promiscuity, on the other hand, is. We commend these drugstores for creating a safe environment for employees and consumers of moral and religious conviction.
