Supreme Court Declines to Hear Pharmacy’s Religious Objections Case

(Worthy News) – The U.S. Supreme Court declined Tuesday to take up a challenge to a Washington state law that makes it illegal for pharmacies to refuse to dispense medications for religious reasons.

The court’s action, bypassing an invitation to wade back into the issues of religion and contraception, allows the state to enforce the law.

Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito called the court’s refusal to hear the case “an ominous sign.”

The case involved a small family-owned business whose owners objected to stocking birth control pills. [ Source ]
