Well, it's official. Access to reproductive choice is on the radar of not just our little group anymore. The Washington City Paper today reported that they will be charting the pharmacies in the District to identify which ones are filling prescriptions for birth control and the abortion pill, no questions asked and which ones are dispensing a side of moral opinion instead. The City Paper will be updating it's findings on it's website, and we'll post updates about it as well.
If you know of a place that has refused to fill a prescription related to reproductive rights, or have had issues with a pharmacist passing judgment on your prescription needs, let us know!

It's so great to find a kindred spirit in this cause. So far, I think it's been really fascinating which pharmacies don't dispense contraception - and which ones do it warily or with moral strings attached. Please keep me updated on the work that you're doing!

Its shocking, DC is supposed to be a mecca of progressive thinking, we're the nation's capital for goodness sake! Why! Why, is it so hard for local pharmacies and charities to understand that in restricting choices of health they are creating more problems for the very people they wish to sell to/serve!
Oh, wonderful! I can't wait to see what the City Paper reports. Information like this will help to shape the future of the Save Lives campaign. Today CVS; tomorrow, any other pharmacy unwilling to grant access.
