Reply #13: greetings from rural America

[LeftyLou]

The fact of the matter is that this guy is not as dangerous as he thinks he is. I live in a poor rural area and I can assure you this guy is not dispensing most of the birth control. Bi-weekly woman's health clinics (usually a P.A. who travels to several different towns) offer the lions share of exams and prescriptions here, kind of like a traveling Planned Parenthood. I don't know how these programs have survived the current administration, but I'm glad they have. The sad fact is that most women of reproductive age could not afford a traditional doctors visit or the price a pharmacy charges.

Others will simply travel to the nearest Walmart and have them filled there (that is as long as Walmart is dispensing birth control.)

The pharmacist sounds like alot of the small town types I deal with everyday. They make alot of noise, but really have very little effect. I'm sure he got a standing ovation at bible study.

Please remember there are sane progressive people out here in the sticks.
