Why? Allowing pharmacists to not fill prescriptions they don't want to. That's their choice, but I'll move my money to somewhere else. That's my choice, too. Hey, I'm pro-choice! And I guess they are, too....

1. We need some high-profile picketing to highlight their discrimination.

2. I don't get my prescriptions at Walgreens, Anyone heard about Shopko?
Walgreens is too inconvenient for me but since K-Mart left town I go to Shopko only.

Anyone know if Shopko issued a statement on pharmacist refusal?

3. By the way, if you call and complain, they tell you that ALL pharmacies...
...in the state have this policy. I don't know if that's true, but I told them I'm not a big consumer of pharmaceuticals anyways. However I do shop at Wallgreens very often for general merchandise. And as long as pharmacies in Wisconsin continue discriminate, I will take my business to another retail outlet.

NGU.

4. Someone please tell me Target doesn't do this
I need to transfer my script somewhere and Target is still convenient and accessible. I'm hoping Target doesn't do this too.

Find out if they want to build new Walgreens and file a protest with the local government ("why does this city want a new drug store that will not distribute prescribed drugs?")

7. This sux
as Walgreen's has been my stand-by pharmacy (since I refuse to shop at Wal-Mart). CVS has recently purchased Eckerds, and they seem to be okay. I don't want to give up Walgreen's. Hope they resolve this to customer satisfaction.

I'm wondering, when someone goes to pharm school, do they get to pick and choose which drugs they will 'support'? Shouldn't this kind of thing be weeded out in the school setting? OTOH, a pharmacist with a conscious (whatever it might be) isn't altogether a bad thing.

12. Another HI to Scruffbunny
Edited on Fri May-06-05 12:55 PM by cmt928
Nice to see you're on the board! :hi:

I will not shop there anymore either - never had my prescriptions there anyway cause one was never close to my clinic - plus I heard they make you wait a long time, and sometimes fill with wrong meds!

16. Finally, a wedge issue the left can use on the right?
Secular conservatives enjoy sex as much as the next person. If this kind of thing get momemtum and the proposed bills pass across the US, there will be a schism in the Republican Party.

19. When Edwards said there was two Americas
Yeah, there's red and blue

There's also rich, poor
urban, rural

There's also religous and secular. There's the one opprotunity for the Dems to win back some swing voters. Surprised this isn't discussed more.
