Aitkin, Minn. is located in the state of Minnesota. A jury found that a central Minnesota pharmacy did not violate a woman's rights when he refused to give her emergency contraceptives.
The Minnesota Human Rights Act was used to bring about the lawsuit against the pharmacy that refused to accommodate her request. Sex discrimination is not allowed in state law.
The United States House passed a bill guaranteeing the right to contraception. The House Democrats are concerned that the Supreme Court could limit the use of contraceptives.
The leaders of the group that represented Anderson plan to appeal.
She got less services than other customers because she was going there for emergency contraception. Jess Braverman is the legal director for the group.
The morning-after pill was prescribed to Anderson by the pharmacy. George Badeaux said he couldn't fill the prescription because of his beliefs.
Anderson made a round-trip of more than 100 miles in snowy and icy conditions to get her prescription filled.
Attorneys for Badeaux did not reply to the request.
