Summary
The PEARL Act bars any requirement that a pharmacist dispense or sell the abortion drugs mifepristone and misoprostol if doing so conflicts with the pharmacist’s sincerely held religious beliefs. It also prevents penalties such as license revocation or loss of federal funding, and lets pharmacists sue for injunctive relief if they are forced to comply. The measure applies to all licensed pharmacists, whether working in private or government settings.
