Another woman, another story

ATLANTA - Kroger Co. said Friday it was reiterating its drug policies to all of its pharmacists after a Georgia woman claimed she was denied the so-called “morning after” pill at one of the company’s stores.

First off, the language bothers me here. It's not the "so-called" morning after pill, it IS the morning after pill.

Second, this is why women's rights activists have been fighting legislators over pharmacists utilizing their "so-called" "religious objection" clauses. Because women are STILL denied access to birth control, even with FDA OTC status approval.

Abortion rights activists in Georgia planned to announce a statewide campaign Friday to raise awareness about the contraceptive. It planned to focus on the story of Carrie Baker, who said a Kroger pharmacist in her hometown of Rome, Ga., would not give her the contraceptive.
