News this week of a small but growing number of pharmacies that, in an effort to avoid being sued for refusing to provide emergency contraception to women with valid prescriptions due to the pharmacist's religious beliefs, have stopped providing contraception all together.
My favorite part of the story? The news that these pharmacists don't even bother to post the fact that they will refuse to fill contraceptive prescriptions so that women attempting to fill such prescriptions are forced to get all the way to the counter and be denied service before they realize who they're dealing with. I'm sure this is no accident; the pharmacists no doubt look at such encounters as a chance to minister to these poor women who mistakenly believe they should have some say in their reproductive future.
This kind of thing really chaps my ass.
