Unfortunately For You, The Line You Crossed Was Real
At last, a little rationality:
The state board that oversees pharmacies voted Tuesday to require Wal-Mart to stock emergency contraception pills at its Massachusetts pharmacies, a spokeswoman at the Department of Public Health said.Again and again and again: This is not the decision of the religious. This is not the decision of the husband/boyfriend/whatever. This is not the decision of the corporation. It damn sure isn't the decision of the pharmacist. It is the decision of the woman, made with the advice of her doctor. End of story. It may take these one-at-a-time battles, but the war for privacy and women's health must be fought and won.
The unanimous decision by the Massachusetts Board of Pharmacy comes two weeks after three women sued Wal-Mart in state court for failing to carry the so called "morning after" pill in its Wal-Mart and Sam's Club stores in the state.
The women argue state policy requires pharmacies to provide all "commonly prescribed medicines."

Is it "made with the advice of her doctor" in the case of emergency contraception?
Pedantic quibbles aside, I cheer this decision. This cartoon pretty much sums up my opinion on the matter.

I was just directed here from this diary on DailyKos, and giggling and humor aside I'm right on board with your remarks.
I've been trying to stake out a middle ground position for a while now, with little success. My argument is here.
