WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — The Biden administration released new federal guidelines Wednesday that threaten pharmacists with “anti-discrimination” violations if they refuse to fill prescriptions for abortion-inducing drugs.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) guidelines, addressed to roughly 60,000 retail pharmacies across the country, direct pharmacists to fill prescriptions for all legally prescribed drugs, even if those medications could be used to cause an abortion.
“We are committed to ensuring that everyone can access health care, free of discrimination,” HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a statement on the agency’s website.
“This includes access to prescription medications for reproductive health and other types of care,” Becerra said.
The Biden administration is warning retail pharmacies against denying patients abortion-inducing medication, saying this would violate anti-discrimination laws by withholding healthcare from pregnant people.
