An addendum to what I just posted: the LATimes article itself is dishonest. The reports I had read said that the governor's action was prompted specifically by women complaining that Chicago Loop pharmacists refused to sell the "morning-after pill." The LATimes turns this generally into "contraceptives."

The governor's act may well be written with "contraceptives" language but that itself is a euphemism: all hormonal contraceptives and especially the "morning-after-pill" are at least partly abortifaciant. The Lie always begins with Orwellian double-speak.

Interesting point. There really IS a difference between birth control pills designed to prevent conception, and the so-called "morning after pill", which is just a human-targeted pesticide.

That said, I see the pharmacists' jobs becoming obsolete in the very near future, as we move towards mail order and Internet fulfillment of prescription purchases. It's damned expensive to have someone stand around in a white coat and count pills as they move from the big bottle to the little bottle. If there weren't so many computer-phobic old people running around, we'd have moved to this delivery model already.
