What was supposed to be a typical prescription pick up at the Walgreens Pharmacy on Coors and Montano, turned into a mother’s fight for her daughter’s rights.
It’s led to the ACLU filing a complaint against Walgreens.
According to the complaint, in 2016 that mom tried to pick up a prescription of Misoprostol for her daughter.
It’s a drug used to prepare patients for getting an IUD, a form of birth control.
However, when she tried to get that prescription filled, the pharmacist on duty denied her, stating personal reasons.
She said it happened to her in 2012, at the Walgreens Pharmacy at Eubank and Central when she tried to get her birth control prescription filled.
Walgreens, at the time, said if filling a prescription went against an employee’s belief, another pharmacist would step in. »
