The store has the right to not carry the stuff. Customers have the right to shop elsewhere in protest. The American way wins.

Many women are feeling intimidated when they ask for emergency contraception, so being turned away or being told to go someplace else can further traumatize someone, she said.
Anyone worrying about the trauma to the baby?

"Many women are feeling intimidated when they ask for emergency contraception..."
OK, you know that Thriftway doesn't carry it, so don't go there and traumatize yourself. Better yet, use pre-conception contraceptives.

Who would have thought pharmacy was going to be made an immoral business by government fiat in more and more places? Sounds like the governor here would like Washington to join that number...

Liberals want to force a business to carry a product for ideological reasons. It has nothing to do with protecting a woman's health. What it is about is making sure no one infringes on the liberal holy writ - abortion.

If a pharmacy refused to carry condoms would there be the same outrage?

"The store has the right to not carry the stuff."
Well, the pharmacies are regulated somewhat more tightly. Depending on the state pharmacy board, they might yank his pharmacist[s] license. The store has the right not to have a pharmacy, though - nobody could force them.

Boycott brews over grocer's Plan B stand
By BRAD SHANNON, The Olympian
Brad Shannon in The Olympian reports that Ralph's Thriftway, which has a pharmacy in its east-side location, says flatly they won't stock the Plan B morning-after pill on moral grounds. Mr Shannon reports: "I don't want to get into a detailed debate,"one of the co-owners of Ralph's and Bayview Thriftways, Kevin Stormans, said in an interview Tuesday. "I just think people have to choose when they believe life begins. There are questions about this drug on that issue." --SNIP--

Perhaps someone who believes in the "sanctity" of a woman's right to choose death over life, can explain why these same women would ever resort to some justification or "right" to such products, through legal writ ... in order to punish those who support life and refuse to serve murder drugs.
It seems to me that all of this implies the real and natural feelings of intimidation and trauma which actually can and do overwhelm those women seeking these death bearing products.
I believe it is a good thing that this is the reaction of those customers, if it is true.

If I lived in Washington, I'd do *ALL* my shopping at Ralph's Thriftway --- even if I had to drive an hour and a half to get there.

They're not trained that way by the public skrool system, PP-hood, NOW, NARAL, and the democrap party. Entitlement mentality filters down to meism, only meism.

If you have a few minutes, I'll bother to explain the difference in contraception and abortion. But then you'd have no excuse for the vacuous posts defending aborting the alive unborn don'tchaknow.

Blanding also said she plans to file a complaint with the Washington State Board of Pharmacy, which regulates pharmacies and pharmacists in the state.
She said she believes Ralph's policy violates state law, which says that a "pharmacy must maintain at all times a representative assortment of drugs in order to meet the pharmaceutical needs of its patients."
"I think we will see hundreds of people and have quite an impact," Linda Malanchuk-Finnan, president of the South Sound chapter of National Organization of Women, said of the boycott, which NOW supports.
"I think people are shocked to find that (emergency contraception) is something they don't have and don't carry. I think people will be quite shocked. I'd like to see them continue to be the good community partner we thought they were in the past."
******
The issue over stocking Plan B is an outgrowth of another debate already raging at the Board of Pharmacy.
A draft rule goes before the board Aug. 31 that could let individual pharmacists refuse to provide a medication - such as Plan B - for reasons of conscience, but only if they made sure another pharmacist could fill it.
Gov. Chris Gregoire has said she might introduce her own rule for consideration and the pro-choice Democrat has warned that she might appoint new members to the pharmacy board next year if the board approves a rule interfering with consumer access to medications.
SINCE WHEN IS IT THE GOVERNOR'S BUSINESS WHAT A STORE CARRIES?!!! Get your nose out of the PRIVATE BUSINESS!!!
