Wal-Mart has been consistent in it's actions.

The do not fill prescriptions for abortifacient birth control pills, or for post-conception medication.

Wal Mart has been seen in TV reports' hidden cams as refusing to sell X-rated videos to underage teens.

Walmart does not sell x rated videos. They do sell some R rated films.

Not all Wal-Marts operate with the abortifacient birth control pill standard. Many use the markets demand for such products, but it's not an across the chain policy to not sell abortifacients.

FOTF is using this as a publicity vehicle.

I don't think Wal Mart sells X-rated videos at all. At least, my local Wal Mart doesn't.

They cannot. X-rated films for starters do not exist anymore--they're reclassified as NC-17, and with few exceptions (the only two that comne to mind are High Tension and Santa Sangre), they are almost always sexually explicit and/or other adult items such as bizarre violence and heavy drug usage.

Since Wal-Mart is obviously not a business that deals in such materials, this cannot possibly be true by most any rational and logical standard.

If they did, there would certainly be state criminal violations involved, and possibly Federal problems for the chain. Though I cannot say this with absolute certainty, as I'm not a lawyer.

Quite honestly though, I think these people meant R-rated films. Though when I was buying movies at my local Wal-Mart, I didn't see any R-rated movies; the highest I saw was PG-13.

Though most of the reports on selling movies and contraception are seen on MSM pieces and mockumentaries that are clearly anti-Wal-Mart.

In any case, though, you do bring up an excellent point--the proven consistency of Wal-Mart's corporate actions.
