'Birth Control' battle over forced participation in abortions

In Wisconsin the legislature is debating whether to allow pharmacists the freedom of conscience not to fill prescriptions for birth control pills if it is against their moral convictions.

The story above ignores the real issue. Pharmacists who are opposed to abortion don't want to fill prescriptions for pills that cause abortions: the abortion pill RU-482, the morning after pill, and birth control pills.

You don't have to be anti-abortion to believe that people should not have to participate in an abortion if they believe abortion is morally wrong. We don't force doctors to perform abortions. Why should we force pharmacists?
