Re: SCOTUS won’t hear challenge to rule that pharmacies dispense eemergency contracep
They would have more places they could buy the product over all. Yes, allowing freedom creates a situation where services might not be available easily, but that isn't terribly likely in most places or cases.
Also, why do we consider that acceptable behavior by the state? For a state to say, carry my product or you will lose your business shouldn't be something we permit.
That does seem to be the most intuitive answer, at first glance. However, I believe that a pharmacist is required to carry and sell all FDA-approved drugs in order to keep their license, whereas a CVS, for example, is not required to keep everything on its shelves. The short of that is that women might very possibly have a harder time as a result of something like Plan B being sold over the counter than through the pharmacist.
