A pharmacy should make all legal products available to those with perscriptions, the gubmint should STFU.
This is a doctor/patient issue.
The new definition of freedom. Freedom to force other people to do things they don't want to do. I should also point out that everything not prohibited is mandatory.
Says who?
"This is a doctor/patient issue."
Then let the doctor carry it.
Should I sue the pharmacy to make sure they have a sufficient quantity of all medications to fill any prescription at any time in a timely fashion or should I just STFU and go to another store that has the product like a normal human being?
They are selectively by refusing to sell some products.

But you support “gubmint” mandated sales...

Let their doctors sell it to them...
Any consumer who wants this should go somewhere where it's available.
A pharmacy should make all legal products available to those with perscriptions,
A pharmacy should make available those products it chooses to make available.
the gubmint should STFU.
Agree.
This is a doctor/patient issue.

We don't want to see the morning after pill and the RU486 being sold by illegal drug dealers. Far better to obtain them legally, under a doctor's care.
Hmmm. Since money changes hands, it appears that business is being conducted. At a place of business. A PRIVATE business.
they should carry one pill in each store
"A pharmacy should make all legal products available to those with perscriptions, the gubmint should STFU."
You're missing the point when you say the "gubmint shoud STFU". I agree that they should but it's the government here that's mandating that Wal-Mart carry it. Since when is that the governments role?
Should be able to choose not to. For instance, suppose a pharmacy gets broken into all the time by pill poppers over some product, so they decide not to carry it. You want Big Momma Government to tell them to carry it anyway?

Why? There is nothing "legal" about pharmaceuticals causing abortions. Read the Comstock Law. Its still in the US Code.
Whoever brings into the United States, or any place subject to the jurisdiction thereof, or knowingly uses any express company or other common carrier or interactive computer service (as defined in section 230(e)(2) [1] of the Communications Act of 1934), for carriage in interstate or foreign commerce—(c) any drug, medicine, article, or thing designed, adapted, or intended for producing abortion, or for any indecent or immoral use
Whoever knowingly takes or receives, from such express company or other common carrier or interactive computer service (as defined in section 230(e)(2) [1] of the Communications Act of 1934) any matter or thing the carriage or importation of which is herein made unlawful—
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both, for the first such offense and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both, for each such offense thereafter.

So should doctors also be forced to commit abortions because they're legal?
Or, if somebody has too many kids, they should have a forced abortion, because they're legal?
I thought "pro-choice" meant freedom to choose. Guess not.
It isn't a "doctor-patient" issue when the medication can kill an unborn child. These emergency contraception should be called emergency abortion pills. The government has no more right telling Wal-Mart what they can or cannot sell in their store than it has in telling a store they cannot sell guns.
Thats socialist thinking.
We live in a free-market.
If this is a physician-patient issue, then let the physician dispense.
Actually the medication, while possibly an actual contraceptive, is not proven to be life saving or even to positively act on the mother's health.
The right to refuse to act in such a way that a person believes will be harmful to another is one of the fundamental rights. To rule as the Board of Pharmacy has in Mass. goes against the pharmacists' and Walmart's liberty and right to property.
At this time, I vow to devote my professional life to the service of all humankind through the profession of Pharmacy.
I will consider the welfare of humanity and relief of human suffering my primary concerns.
I will apply my knowledge, experience, and skills to the best of my ability to assure optimal drug therapy outcomes for the patients I serve.
I will keep abreast of developments and maintain professional competency in my profession of Pharmacy,
I will maintain the highest principles of moral, ethical, and legal conduct.
I will embrace and advocate change in the profession of Pharmacy that improves patient care.
I take these vows voluntarily with the full realization of the responsibility with which I am entrusted by the public.
If a pharmacist believes that filling a certain prescription violates that oath, what business does anyone have forcing him to violate his oath?
How is it that government forcing a person to violate their religious precepts is not a violation of the free exercise clause?
????? Who is making pharmacies carry all these drugs if it is not the government? What about drugs nobody uses anymore, must a pharmacy care those?
