Women: 2, Wal-Mart: 48
Feb. 14th, 2006 10:32 pmYeah!
Courts in Massachusetts have ordered Wal-Mart to start stocking emergency contraception (Plan B) as a "commonly prescribed medicine." The article says nothing about whether Walmart's pharmacists (like Target's) can choose not to dispense them unfortunately, but it's a step in the right direction. If they take that last step and change policy so that women are finally guaranteed all their legally prescribed medicines, I may resume shopping at Wal-Mart before I do at Target. :-P
If you wish to comment on the issue to Wal-Mart, you can use this form (linked thru Planned Parenthood so they can keep track of how many people are taking action).
