NEW YORK- After a 20-year-old Tucson woman is raped, she wastes three days searching for a pharmacy that stocks the "morning after" pill, each day of her search reducing the chances of the drug working. "When she finally did find a pharmacy with it," reports the Arizona Daily Star, "she said she was told the pharmacist on duty would not dispense it because of religious and moral objections."
In Fort Worth, a CVS pharmacist tells Julee Lacey, 33, that she does not "believe in birth control" and will have to get her refill elsewhere.
Outrages like these happen everyday. You can easily join the campaign to demand that the FDA make the morning-after pill available over the counter by clicking on NARAL's Women Are Waiting timer over there in the sidebar.
