Druggists Refusing to fill Birth Control Prescriptions On "Moral Grounds"

As my friend Kamal said in sending it on, "Four more years of this?"

USA Today's article "Druggists refuse to give out pill" recounts a frightening number of instances where women have been denied access to birth control. Note, not even the more controversial "morning after" pill - no, this is standard legal-since-the-late-60's birth control.

You don't need a Supreme Court Justice to determine your reproductive rights . . . there are plenty of Average Joes who will attempt to do it for them (and you).

The answer? Organize - protest - make your voice heard! Call and email pharmacy boards. Call and write your Congressperson, Senator, Governor and every other possible governmental person or entity who can legislate access for all. (Note - screw email petitions - no one in WA pays attention to them, per my friends who served as Senate aides.)

Visit http://thomas.loc.gov/ and click the House Directory and Senate Directory to obtain contact info for your state representatives. Then Google "government [your state's name]" - an early hit will likely be the similar site at the state level. Good luck - vigilence is the keyword for the next four years. Respect the efforts of our ancestors (e.g., Margaret Sanger and the people she inspired) - protect the rights of the future generations - SPEAK UP to preserve hard-won rights!
