Incredible.  APhA and others had better fight this in IL state legislature
and all other available means.  He's removed any professional judgement or
input from the pharmacist to dispense these drugs.  There's probably a
lawsuit out there just waiting to happen, where the governor himself is sued
by a patient who was dispensed the medication "with no delays, hassles, or
lectures."  Isn't patient counseling a necessary delay?

"But Blagojevich, surrounded by abortion rights supporters from around the
country, said his reading of the conscience clause was that only physicians,
not pharmacists, can invoke it."

"Our regulation says that if a woman goes to a pharmacy with a prescription
for birth control, the pharmacy is not allowed to discriminate who they sell
it to and who they don't," Blagojevich said. "No delays. No hassles. No
lectures. Just fill the prescription."

I read the article too. It's certainly a matter of the governor
overriding  IL state drug laws. What's next?
