OT Birth Control

[Duck on Wheels]

I haven't gotten that email, but I first heard about it a year ago. It's true that some pharmacists are refusing to fill prescriptions for birth control, in one case, the pharmacist even refused to give the prescription back to the patient. I guess the best policy on a personal level, either way, is to support the pharmacist you agree with with your dollars.

Easy enough for those of us with lots of pharmacies to choose amongst. But what if you're out in the boondocks somewhere and it's miles and miles to the "nearest" pharmacy that will actually fill your prescription -- maybe even over a state line! What then? The "vote with your feet" consumerist solution doesn't always hack it.
