The Senate today passed a bill that would let a pharmacist refuse to 
dispense medicines they believed will lead to abortion or assisted suicide.

The vote -- 30-18 -- erased an earlier defeat for the bill in the Senate.

Last week, the Senate tied 24-24. Today, three Republican senators and 
three Democratic senators changed their votes from no to yes, moving the 
bill to the House for consideration.

Senate Bill 3, authored by Sen. Jeff Drozda, R-Westfield, has come under 
fire from some lawmakers, particularly women, and from Planned 
Parenthood of Indiana, who say it would allow a pharmacist to refuse to 
give a woman birth control.

Drozda said the bill would not do that, but opposed an amendment to the 
bill that said it did not impact contraception.

The bill requires pharmacies to have a policy on what to do if a 
pharmacist refuses to fill or dispense a prescription, but does not 
specify what that policy must do.
