Well, so much for "free" enterprise.

Yet another reason to never consider living in MA.

...or if you already live there, to move out.

Well, this means either a suit going up to SCOTUS, or barring that (if this is entirely a state issue) then let's see WalMart close down all of their pharmacies. Local businesses should be happy at the lack of competition and the politicians can all congratulate themselves -- until the voters start complaiining about prices of drugs in Mass.

So Wal-Mart is now forced (at the point of a gun) to sell a certain product? Is that how it worked with Messerschmidt and fighter planes in the late 1930s?

The Demcat Party continues to reveal their fascist leanings.

I wonder what would happen if Wal-Mart decided to charge $500 per pill?

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.

I'd tell them to F.O.! They can regulate what they cannot sell but they can make them sell something that is not necessary to sustain life!

[Radix]

I wonder if they'll be compelled to stock Oxycontin now as well. Every drug store that I have been in over the last couple of years or so has a sign which says that they refuse to stock it.

I live in Mass. and I have not heard this news about this judgment yet.

Ultimately, the liberals wish to force all hospitals to provide abortion services. Forcing Wal-Mart to provide the "morning after pill" is a first step in mandating abortion training at all medical schools. So much for freedom of choice.

[Revel]

I wish Wal-mart would get some guts and refuse to follow this. Take to the surpreme court.

[A CA Guy]

So make the price $100 a pill and see how many want to come in and bother to buy that.
That would be another way to avoid carrying it.

This is why the people who say leave birth control/abortion to the states are wrong. We'll take what we can get, but eventually there must be federal laws enforced consistently nationwide.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

So three women want Wal-Mart to carry the morning-after pill in case they let their lust get the better of them and they end up making hot monkey love to nameless studs on hot summer nights without meaning to? Why can't they use Walgreens or Rite-Aid?

[Camel Joe]

Speaking of free, does the pharmacy board set the price? What if Wal-Mart were to charge say five times the going price. This is more of an attack on those who shop at Wal-Mart than on the retailer itself.
