“I don’t think we’ve laid out an agenda in this campaign that deals with that, the Bloomington state senator said at a Daily Herald editorial endorsement interview.
“Parental notification is the only thing we think immediately on the books that needs to be done.
He said he is focused almost entirely on the economy.
“I have my personal beliefs. … We all have our personal beliefs, Brady said. “My agenda is about rebuilding Illinois’ economy and bringing integrity back to the government.
But here’s the thing. One of the items Brady has on bills he has cosponsored is what I call the Christian Science Jobs bill. It would allow pharmacists to individually decide whether to dispense medications they may be personally offended by. So you go into Target wanting Plan-B–simply a large dose of birth control pills or for that matter birth control pills and the pharmacist could refuse to provide the pills that the pharmacy stocks even if you have a legal and safe prescription because it personally offends them.
The problem is Bill Brady won’t need a law to enact such a thing, the only thing barring pharmacists from doing this now is a rule made under the Blagojevich administration that simply required that pharmacies dispense prescriptions for pharmaceuticals they carry in stock. Bill Brady can initiate and would likely be able to repeal that rule with no action from the General Assembly.
He won’t ‘concentrate’ on it, but he will be able to make whether you can get your prescription a crap shoot depending on which pharmacist you get on any given day.
