I will argue that pharmacists lack an absolute right to object the dispersal of emergency contraception. Further, I will argue that the reasons offered for refusals regarding emergency contraception by pharmacists are not reasonable, even given their moral reservations, providers have a professional ethical obligation to dispense emergency conception. The refusal to sell emergency contraception by pharmacists ultimately infringes on women’s right to exercise autonomy over their reproductive future

attitudes toward abortion began to shift mainly due to new English laws prohibiting the practice. In 1873, a federal law known as the Comstock Act made the dissemination of literature and items used for contraception as well as herbal remedies use as abortifacient illegal. Violators of the Comstock Act received five years in prison and was fined $2,000 (Britannica, 2016). Furthermore, the male-dominated medical establishment often backed the laws prohibiting abortions in order to push midwives and homeopaths

considerably. It alters the endometrium so that no implantation can occur, and if implantation has already occurred, a spontaneous abortion or miscarriage will occur (Piaggio, et al.) Therefore, RU486 is both a postcoital contraceptive and an abortifacient-agent that causes abortion. With the emergence of these two forms of birth control, many groups have begun to re-evaluate the actions and implications of all postcoital contraceptive agents.

People have been having sex since the beginning of time; after all, how would we be here today if they had not. Yet, there has also been the pervasive problem of how to gain control over reproduction, in essence, how to prevent unwanted pregnancies. This is a challenge, even today, in an age of technological advancements, mass communication and education.

Emergency Contraception Causes Abortion       Brown University associate professor of medicine, Ralph Miech, M.D., Ph.D., stated the abortive nature of EC in the Providence Journal on August 3, 1998: "This type of pill causes an abortion. From a pharmacologic perspective, this type of pill should be called an 'abortion-after pill'."   The question must be asked: "How is this contraception?" Women are being falsely led to believe that these pills are contraceptive in nature. But one

In the landmark decision of Burwell, Secretary of Human Health Services, et al. v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., the United States Supreme Court allowed closely held for-profit corporations to exercise religious freedoms that could deny its female employees health coverage of contraceptives. The contraceptive mandate under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) will now excuse religious for-profit companies from providing contraceptives which may prevent implantation. Previously, this exemption was only provided

their side as well. Of the contraceptives that were required by the Affordable Care Act Hobby Lobby provide 16 out of the 20 of them. The owners of Hobby Lobby “only had moral objections to the four methods, [because] they consider them to be abortifacients” which was against their religious beliefs. This presentation

trials of this past century’s medical and technological advancements, shows its value and command over modern and ancient practical medical ethics.

A Woman’s Right to Abortion Roe v. Wade, 1973 On January 22, 1973, the supreme court justices came to a decision about abortion. I am going to start off by giving some general information about the laws passed and other events that have led the abortion laws to where they are now. In 1821, Connecticut passed the first law that restricted abortion in the United States. It prohibited the use of toxins to cause a miscarriage. Back then, women usually didn 't know they were pregnant until the baby
