18. If the state can't FORCE every pharmacy to carry EC, can they choose not to do business with some?

Seems to me that if the state can't force anybody to sell EC, then maybe the state could say that any pharmacy that doesn't choose to carry and dispense ALL drugs is unsafe/immoral/unethical and therefore unworthy of getting ANY state money...

If they don't want to be responsible pharmacies I don't want MY tax money going to them.
