In reply to the discussion: Judge says Wash. can't make pharmacies sell Plan B [View all]yardwork
(61,737 posts)Women living in rural areas or in isolated urban centers, women without transportation, women whose husbands/partners decide where they will shop, lots of women don't really have the option of seeking another pharmacy. The burden falls, as always, on the most vulnerable.
This is especially acute because it involves emergency contraception. Women who have been raped, very young women, women being abused by their partners - those are the same women who need emergency contraception. They're the ones who will be denied access to it because of this cruel and stupid barrier created by hypocrites.
Affluent, educated, independent women with cars can drive to the next town or the next corner and find a pharmacy. They're probably less likely to need emergency contraception anyway.
