MADISON, Wis. - A Roman Catholic pharmacist who blocked a woman's
attempt to fill a prescription for birth control pills should be
reprimanded and required to attend ethics classes, a judge ruled Monday.
Administrative Law Judge Colleen Baird recommended the punishment for
Neil Noesen of St. Paul, Minn., who said it would be a sin under his
religion to provide a contraceptive.
He refused in July 2002 to fill the woman's prescription himself or
transfer it to another pharmacy.
