Contraception is Basic Healthcare for Women!

New Threat to Women�s Reproductive Freedom: Pharmacist Refusals

If you have been denied birth control or emergency contraception (ECP) by a pharmacist or doctor, we may be able to help. Increasingly, individual pharmacists have refused to fill prescriptions for ECP�s, sometimes called the morning-after pill or Plan B. In one of many cases, a pharmacist in Denton, Texas refused to fill a rape survivor�s prescription for ECP�s, citing �religious convictions�. Some of the large corporate pharmacy chains are allowing this or refusing to stock the drugs altogether. Visit this site for news and updates in 2006.
