A mom is suing two pharmacies after being denied the morning-after pill due to the pharmacists’ beliefsthe morning-after pill
not once, but twice. The reason? Pharmacists at two separate pharmacies refused to fill her prescription due to their beliefs. Andrea Anderson headed to Thrifty White Pharmacy, her local pharmacy, to fill a prescription for Ella, the morning-after contraceptive that can prevent ovulation, block fertilization, or keep a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus. According to, Anderson called in the script and was about to go pick it up when she received a call from the pharmacist telling her he couldn’t fill it due to his “personal beliefs.” The man also serves as a local pastor.
Anderson complained to the manager and was informed that this wasn’t the first time he had denied a woman the morning-after pill because of his personal feelings on the matter. She says she then tried a CVS store 25 minutes from her and was told she couldn’t get the pill there either due to the pharmacist’s beliefs.
CVS tells ABC that they’re reviewing the complaint and investigating what happened. “CVS Pharmacy is committed to providing access to emergency contraception, whether it is at the pharmacy counter for patients who have a prescription for it, or in our store aisles where we have sold over-the-counter emergency contraception for several years,” they said.The thing is, this kind of decision should be between a woman and her doctor. That’s it.
