Please make every effort to attend the Public Testimony Rules Hearing!!
Numbers will count!
Strong presence at the Board hearing is needed to prevent this draft
rule from becoming official.
If the Draft Rule becomes official it...
Gives the Board of Pharmacy authority to suspend, fine and/or remove
the license of pharmacies who do not fill, on demand, drugs that cause abortions and other drugs that ever become "legal" to use i.e. Physician Assisted Suicide, etc.
Could cause pharmacies to discriminate against employing any
pharmacists unable to fill medications that cause abortions. Your prayers and presence is needed!
Action Needed:
The WA State Board of Pharmacy composed a Draft Rule that impinges on this right, for WA pharmacists. However, before this Draft can become official, a Hearing needs to be held, to consider public concerns regarding this Draft.
Come, support us in NUMBERS at this Hearing, whether or not you testify.
WHO? Presence of all supportive family & friends, whether or not they testify. HOW? Sign-In at the door. To testify, indicate on the sign-in sheet. Sample testimonies available. Please Contact Us.
REJECT the Draft Rule proposal &
SUPPORT a pharmacist's right to follow his/her conscience.
