Feministing has a corrected post about a federal court case to decide whether pharmacists have the right to refuse to do their jobs and dispense emergency contraception.
there is a chance proponents of reproductive health access can still win this one but it means that we still have to be really vigilant about our (women's) ability to have access to the medication we need when accidents happen (because they do!).
i, for one, would be really pissed if, because a condom split/tore/got jammed up in my girly parts/slipped off, i needed EC and some asshat refused to dispense because of his asshat church beliefs. really really really pissed.
like, psycho-pissed.
really.
that's like having a ticking bomb strapped to my uterus and some smug baptist tells me i can't cut the wire. that's enough to make a grown woman wanna take a hammer to someone's penis.

Yeah. Stop off at the hardware store en route to the pharmacy!
i'm serious. this whole case started because some pharmacist didn't want to dispense to a rape victim.
who does that?
granted, EC should be available to everyone 18 and over OTC but i can totally see some rural township not getting that memo, you know?
