The Night Before Pill

The problems associated with this, could have been somewhat mitigated had they named it The Night Before Pill. I mean, is this in the news damn near 24/7, or am I just imagining it?

Pharmacists are electing to use their Rights of Conscience, and damnit - I agree - they have every right to do just that.

Rights of Conscience allows for medical practitioners to refuse to participate in a procedure if they have moral, religious, or other beliefs regarding the procedure at hand. In other words, the state cannot force a doctor to participate in the execution of a felon, or force a doctor to perform an abortion. And these Rights extend to pharmacists as well.

So, "Planned Abortionhood" has their speculums all in a bundle over this.

"[Karen Romano was] absolutely mortified that this man [pharmacist] was trying to delve into my most intimate and painful affairs to impose his own moral agenda".

Not quite, Ms. Romano. First of all, neither Merriam-Websters' mortify, nor Dictionary.com mortified entitle you to anything from that drugstore. Your pride was hurt or wounded, too bad, so sad - join the club. Second, there's no legal right to sue or demand anything just because your pride was hurt.

HEY - here's a much simpler, less costly alternative. Why don't you LADIES get your prescription BEFORE you plan to flatback?

And here's another novel, yet ultra-complex idea: If you find that your normal, neighborhood drugstore won't fill your prescription for the Morning After pill...go home, find a Yellow Pages book, open it to PHARMACIES or DRUG STORES, and call them and find out which ones WILL FILL the prescription. Yeah, I know that's a huge mental task that may be just too complex for some women, but really, the government has enough to do without having to get into even more regulations of what you choose to do with your...reproductive rights.
