A federal district court has ruled that pharmacists cannot be compelled to dispense emergency contraceptives. The pharmacists claim that providing the medication violates their religious beliefs but a state law requires all pharmacies to stock and dispense the medication. The court ruled that the state’s regulations violate the constitutional right to free exercise of religion.
