She filed a complaint after the incident occurred in the summer of 2002 in Menomonie, Wis. Christopher Klein, spokesman for Wisconsin's Department of Regulation and Licensing, says the issue is that Noesen didn't transfer or return the prescription. A hearing was held in October. The most severe punishment would be revoking Noesen's pharmacist license, but Klein says that is unlikely.
Susan Winckler, spokeswoman and staff counsel for the American Pharmacists Association, says it is rare that pharmacists refuse to fill a prescription for moral reasons. She says it is even less common for a pharmacist to refuse to provide a referral.

Before everyone gets all up in arms about this...
I ask, is this an isolated incident? If not, how many times does it happen?
Think of the total women out there and how many people there are filling prescriptions etc. and if it's just this one incident or even a handfull it's not indicative of a trend. It just happens to be a situation that has happened.
I'm even beginning to think that it's alarmist propaganda as it happened in 2002 and we're just hearing about it now right after an close election.
