Tell Wal-Mart to Stop Blocking the Sale of Birth Control!
Sponsored by: NARAL Pro-Choice AmericaWal-Mart - the nation's largest retail pharmacy - has been denying millions of American women the opportunity to prevent unintended pregnancy.
The store has refused to stock the "morning-after pill", or Plan B, a legally approved birth control option for women.
The good news is that three Massachusetts women who sued Wal-Mart recently won their battle in Massachusetts, forcing Wal-Mart to stock Plan B in their state. But there are still 49 other states where women don't have access to this form of contraception at Wal-Mart! And in areas where Wal-Mart has eliminated all other retail competition, Wal-Mart can often be a woman's only pharmacy option.
Join NARAL Pro-Choice America to demand that Wal-Mart to stock the morning-after pill in all its stores in every state!
It's time to tell Wal-Mart's CEO Lee Scott that it is neither his nor anyone's place to decide which medicines women have the right to take. As a retail pharmacy, it is Wal-Mart's job to stock any and all legally-approved medications.
Call on Wal-Mart to end this blatant act of discrimination against women and to fufill its duty to provide access to the "morning-after pill" today!

They should try to put themselves into the position of women. What if a woman in raped and has an urgent need for a morning after-pill? Even if you don't approve of 'abortion', you should think about different women in very various circumstances.

The morning pill is a hell of a lot easier to accept than aborting a baby at a clinic. I've always disliked Wal Mart they are sneaky and aren't good to their employees. They also send employees out to other stores with price guns...sneaky $#%&*&#.

i will not be shopping at Walmart again. i am contacting all of my friends and family and urging them to do the same. i think i'm going to have a lot of success when i tell they that they can't buy their birth control at Walmart..because Walmart wants to push their values off on the customers...customers who made them who they are.

Your pharmacists are not physicians. They have no right to assume the reason for the presciptions they are asked to fill. As a woman who has used "the Pill" for control of excessive menstrual bleeding, disabling menstrual cramping, fainting spells and vomitting and diarrhea with my periods when I was a young girl, I know that these medications have perfectly acceptable applications, other than birth control. I cannot imagine how much I would have suffered without them. I was not sexually active and would have been embarrassed to death if the pharmacist had hassled me over my legally prescibed mecication.

Umm, Wal-Mart DOES stock the morning-after pill now, nationwide. I believe individual pharmacists have the option of refusing to dispense it (but this is law - Wal-Mart, or any other company can't MAKE an individual dispense it). The bigger danger with the morning-after pill right now is with discussion to pull it off the American market again EVERYWHERE, since a few women have died after using it. And every other kind of birth control always has been and is still on their shelves.

Do we need more people that are hungry, less educated and abused? Or could we just simply let women choose.
