OT: Wal–Mart Policy Change

Charlie Perrin <nikve...@sbcglobal.netNOSPAM>
Looks like they're going to start carrying "Plan B" in all pharmacies:
http://money.cnn.com/2006/03/03/news/companies/walmart_contraception/?cnn=yes
Some (not all) won't be boycotting them any more (on the other hand,
some may start boycotting them)... although they say they will still
have the "conscientious objector" clause.

I think we'll just ask for it and thank each one that refuses, and
tell the manager that we appreciate that.

Do we need to impeach Bush to bring some focus to this man's life?
The man was lost and then he was found and now he's more lost than ever,
plus being blind.

In the same way an Electric Chair is not a cure for cancer –– but both
take care of the "problem". You can play with the definition if you
want, but the physical result is destruction of a fertilized egg which
is a human being, albiet young and dependent upon the mother's body.

Electric chairs cure cancer? I expect to hear on the evening news that
M. D. Anderson is borrowing "Old Sparky" from the Texas Prison Museum
in Huntsville. <grin/duck>

The only way Plan B is an abortifactant is if you consider all hormonal
birth control to be abortion.

Insouciant is kidding.
Surely, no one could possibly believe that the destruction of a
fertilized egg is bad and destruction of a human being, albiet, a
criminal is good.
Perhaps Walmart is making a profit selling contraceptives. They are
required to sell them in Illinois as well.

I don't know about Wal–Mart (having not been a stockholder as long)
but Target (where I've been a stockholder since 1999, when they were
Dayton Hudson) always points at their pharmacy as being a major cash
cow.
That's the reason that, if you haven't noted, EVERY Target remodel
gets a pharmacy.
I probably should buy CVS stock because I insist on going to the
closest pharmacy and that's a CVS. Actually, I get most of my pills by
Medco By Mail but the stuff that I get when I'm acutely sick or
they're trying new stuff is at CVS.
I'm not driving three extra miles to Target when I have a 103 degree
fever. I hope they understand in Minneapolis. <grin/duck>
They are required to sell them in Illinois as well.
Mandatory Plan B is also the law in Massachusetts.
Given the way the press release read, they figured they'd get more
states saying the same thing so they threw in the towel.

Imagine if you lived somewhere without many choices of pharmacies.
Where I live, we have the chain stores, and Walgreens and a few "mom
and pop" drug stores.
Mandatory Plan B is also the law in Massachusetts.
No "conscientious objector " clause in either state.
Given the way the press release read, they figured they'd get more
states saying the same thing so they threw in the towel.
As you suggest, maybe they are basing this on the profit made by
Target.
I doubt if there will be a "reverse" boycott because of this.
In a lot of places, they don't have much competition.
