To protect the religious freedom of pharmacists choosing not to dispense or sell abortion-inducing drugs.

Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

2026-04-20

This bill would allow pharmacists to refuse to fill prescriptions for medications that can induce abortion based on their religious beliefs, without facing legal consequences from their employers or state licensing boards. The measure protects pharmacists' ability to opt out of dispensing these drugs while potentially leaving patients responsible for finding another pharmacy to fill their prescriptions. It affects both pharmacists seeking religious exemptions and patients who may face delays or difficulty accessing these medications.
