it's morning in America - do you know where your birth control is?
Lovely. I just found a news article (thanks to Rising Hegemon) about pharmacists refusing to fill birth control prescriptions.
According to the article:
The article goes on to discuss proposed laws that would protect pharmicists who don't want to fill prescriptions on moral grounds.
After they stop selling prescription birth control, condoms and other bc, will we then have observers in our bedrooms making sure no one is pulling out early?
Or maybe they'll just take all the women and put us in pregnancy homes where they can make sure to keep us knocked up. (time to re-read the Handmaid's Tale, I think.)
But the kids probably still won't have health insurance.

Lovely. I just found a news article (thanks to Rising Hegemon) about pharmacists refusing to fill birth control prescriptions.
According to the article:
For a year, Julee Lacey stopped in a CVS pharmacy near her home in a Fort Worth suburb to get refills of her birth-control pills. Then one day last March, the pharmacist refused to fill Lacey's prescription because she did not believe in birth control.
"I was shocked," says Lacey, 33, who was not able to get her prescription until the next day and missed taking one of her pills. "Their job is not to regulate what people take or do. It's just to fill the prescription that was ordered by my physician."
