Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, and a group of “emergency contraception” activists are suing Wal-Mart in Massachusetts because it refuses to sell the abortifacient pill. The basis of their suit is a state law that requires all pharmacies to “stock all medications that are commonly prescribed to meet the usual needs of the community.” Wal-Mart contends that the pill, which acts by preventing the newly conceived unborn child from implanting in his mother’s womb, is neither “commonly prescribed” nor is it a “usual need.”
Pro-abortionists are pushing EC because of growing opposition to surgical abortions. If women don’t have to go into clinics, but can instead get abortions by going to pharmacies, then there is no place for pro-lifers to picket. And if it happens through a little pill, then the squeamishness over babies ripped limb from limb can be overcome. Step 1 in that plan occurred last year when the state passed a law requiring all hospitals to provide EC to rape victims—and a provision exempting Catholic hospitals was defeated. The law also allows—but does not require—pharmacies to dispense E without a prescription.
Tolerance is not enough; Your admiration is required

So, does this mean Catholic Hospitals in Massachusetts DO hand out EC’s to rape victims.
Seems like a big problem.
Like with homosexuality, mere tolerance is not enough. Everyone must embrace it wholeheartedly, expressing deepest love and admiration for it.
Kinda sounds a little like Islam……

They’re supposed to. Unfortunately, I’m not sure they weren’t handing it out before anyway.
I guess no one is willing to lose their job, or face prison for their faith in the Catholic Hospitals.
Saint Blaise, Bishop and Martyr, Pray for us!
Sleep well….
Bravo for Wal-Mart. I’m sure their decision was a business decision, but even in business this kind of thing doesn’t make sense. They shouldn’t stock it if there isn’t a call for it.
The escalation of the abortion thing simply means that we’ll have to get better at doing the work that will tell how disruptive this pill is to a woman’s body. It’s some kind of poison in order to have the extreme effect of killing the child. What does it do to the woman that they won’t tell us for political reasons??
I remind you of the havoc that birth control pills cause: increased risk of heart disease esp blood clots, increased risk of cancer, etc. But no one wants to talk about that………
