2019 Minnesota pharmacist refusal of emergency contraception ruled sex discrimination under state's human rights act.
The Minnesota Court of Appeals has ruled that a pharmacist's refusal to provide emergency contraception to a woman in 2019 constituted sex discrimination under the state's human rights act. The court determined that a new trial is needed to determine if the pharmacy or the pharmacist himself is liable for the incident. This decision marks the first time a US court has found sex discrimination in refusing to fill a prescription for emergency contraception.
