Does "pro choice" mean your own choice, but no one else's?

There are bills around the USA, and a few laws that have already been passed, requiring pharmacies to stock all forms of contraception approved by the FDA. What a crock! It is up to the owner/manager of the pharmacy to decide what FDA approved products they will and won't stock! What other product is required by law for a pharmacy to carry? Pro Choice Folks, if you want to buy contraceptive products, go to the places that carry them, don't whine to the government "kiss it and make it all better".

Are we talking over the counter or by prescription...because I gotta tell you if contraception is going to go over the counter it is gonna cause a rise in unwanted pregnancies in the poor population. For instance when they put allergy medicine over the counter Public Aid quit paying for any kind of allergy medications. You have to fight with them to get them to cover a different one that is not over the counter. Not everyones allergies are helped by the over the counter meds..and also if Public Aid is not covering it I can tell you that even though the prices have dropped there are alot of poor people out there being miserable because they are allergy sufferers that cant pay for meds. The same would happen if contraception goes over the counter..Public Aid would stop covering it and poor people will not be able to afford their protection..either till the prices drop or not at all...this would have a devestating impact on poor society..it may cause a huge rise in abortion, child neglect, teen pregnancy, you name it..it will be bad!

It would only apply to prescription meds, since OTC meds can be sold without a pharmacist present.

When the government begins dictating what products that stores (pharmacies included) should carry, it's time to draw the line. That's a violation of sovereignty. The federal government isn't supposed to be that involved. States are supposed to decide their own policies. Remember when a person could simply move if they didn't like the way their state was run? What happened to that sovereignty? Since when is the federal government the catchall for the whiners of the country?

Well, this movement has bills at the both the state and federal level. Either way, it's a violation of good business law.
