Pharmacist wins freedom fight
After 7 years, a Morrison pharmacist has prevailed over the governor and attorney general in his fight to operate his business free from what he saw as an intrusive executive order. We congratulate Luke Vander Bleek on his victory.
Luke Vander Bleek has proved that you can fight city hall and win.
“City hall,” in this case, is the state of Illinois – specifically former Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s 2005 executive order that required all pharmacies in Illinois to dispense the Plan B “morning-after” birth control pill.
Vander Bleek, a pharmacist from Morrison, opposes abortion on religious and moral grounds. As such, he opposes the science behind the Plan B pill. He believes the contraceptive, which can prevent a fertilized egg from attaching to the uterus, is akin to an abortion pill.
