This issue is not about birth control pills; they are available at every single county health department in the country, even in west Texas. If you are aware of a county where they are not sold, please let me know, for I would love to open a pharmacy there and make a ton of money. This issue is about morning-after abortion pills which many people have a big problem with.

The morning after pills that you refer to (and that have been the subject of much of this debate) will not end a pregnancy if a fertilized egg has already implanted in the uterus. They must be taken within 72 hours after unprotected intercourse, however, so the option of shopping for a pharmacy is severely limited.

And explain to me what business it is of the pharmacist why the pills are being sought. Should the pharmacist launch an investigation of the patient to determine whether the unprotected intercourse was the result of rape, date rape, or consensual sex? Will the pharmacist help pay for and raise the resulting baby, or are the high-falutin' moral guidelines only applicable where they are convenient to the conscience and wallet of the moral arbiter?
