Appeals court says pharmacists don't have to sale 'morning after' pills
At least not yet:
A federal appeals court on Thursday left in place a lower court’s ruling that allowed Washington state pharmacists to refuse to sell emergency contraceptive “morning after” pills on religious grounds.
A federal judge in Seattle suspended state rules that required pharmacies to dispense “Plan B” and other emergency contraceptives that prevent fertilized eggs from implanting, which some people believe is the same as abortion.

State officials and several women had asked the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to suspend the judge’s preliminary injunction, which bars them from enforcing the law, while they appeal his ruling.
Oral argument in the appeal is set for June 3. The court’s order denying the application for stay is available in pdf.
