Women Sue Wal-Mart Over Contraception

"BOSTON - Backed by abortion rights groups, three Massachusetts women sued Wal-Mart on Wednesday, accusing the retail giant of violating a state regulation by failing to stock emergency contraception pills in its pharmacies."

First thing in the print- and obviously it sticks out- backed by abortion rights groups.
Does that not, in a subtle way, acknowledge that this "emergency contraception" these women are after, is in fact a way of performing an abortion? It definitely says it is more than just regular old contraception, doesn't it?

Of course this irritates me. I always get irritated by the number of complaints against Wal-Mart. Often it is some liberal organization that wants to "Wake-Up Wal-Mart" and let it know how cruel it is to the earth, it's employees, and the rest of the world.

Then this comes along. Is it not just another attack on Wal-Mart? Ok, these women were inconvenienced because a baby-killer prescription is not offered at their store. It states right there in the article- "CVS, the state's largest pharmacy chain, stocks the pill at all of its drugstores."
Could they not have just gone to CVS?

Yes, they could have. Instead, they have to draw attention to another store for not being liberal enough. It's getting a bit ridiculous.

Hi Sharon. Nice to see you blogging again!

Do you subscribe to The Window, online articles about Catholicism in society by Deal W. Hudson? I think you'll find them interesting.

Thanks, O!

No, I don't subscribe to that. I'll have to check it out. :)

They should modify that sign on the door, "we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone", and put it on the pharmacy window!

This is sickening to me.
