Dear UW School of Pharmacy Leaders, Current federal and state laws respect the right of individual pharmacists to abstain from dispensing a drug to which they conscientiously object (1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution; RCW 9.02.150; RCW 48.43.065; RCW 70.47.160). This legal recognition of the civil rights of pharmacists in no way trumps the rights of patients. Patients do have a right to receive pharmacy services, but they do not have a right to force a particular individual pharmacist to provide them. The State of Washington must not impose such a regulation. The new draft proposed by the Governor, which the Board of Pharmacy recently approved, will not allow your graduates' right to conscience to be respected as do their other health care professional colleagues. I urge you, your faculty, staff, students and benefactors to contact the Board of Pharmacy Members, the Governor and Legislators and ask them to uphold current Federal and State laws that protect your rights to live and act according to your conscience with the Washington State Board of Pharmacy's June 1st Draft of Rules: WAC 246-863-095 Pharmacist's Professional Responsibilities. I thank you for your willingness to consider my concerns. Respectfully yours,
