BOSTON (AP) -- Three Massachusetts women backed by pro-abortion rights groups sued Wal-Mart on Wednesday, saying the retail giant violated a state regulation by failing to stock emergency contraception pills in its pharmacies.
The suit filed in Suffolk Superior Court seeks a court order compelling the company to stock the so-called "morning after pill," in its 44 Wal-Marts and four Sam Club stores in Massachusetts, all of which have pharmacies.

At least the pills are not made in China.
Poison to kill a baby isn't 'needed medication'. These hags can find all the time in the world to harass stores and pharmicists and yet not spend 2 minutes putting on a condom or taking a frikkin pill or slapping on a patch or any of the many other option available to avoid pregnancy.
I think they get off on the control issue, having that god like power of life or death over a baby. Foul Wh***s
Right next to the one that says real estate attorneys like me have to take very axe-murderer defense case that walks in the door.
You are not familiar with Massachusetts jurisprudence.
They kept full-on "blue laws" (no Sunday shopping) right up into the eighties.
They closed all the state mental hospitals and blamed the ensuing surge in homelessness on Ronald Reagan.
The suddenly found a clause promoting same-sex-marriage in the 200 year old state Constitution.
Former governor Dukakis once proclaimed that homeowners had no right whatsoever to fight back against robbers.
Haven't these women heard of a drugstore? Yeah, yeah, I understand some Wal-Mart's have every department under the sun, but really?
Actually, it would be a hando.
Looks to me like another case of Jackpot Justice. A few people band together, find a willing attorney to file a frivolous lawsuit and then hope the company will settle instead of going to court because it's cheaper
They planned this. It was all about making money pushing an evil agenda.
this is what you call a Jesse Jackson style "Shake down"
all you have to do is file a suit of big $$$$$$$$
the LEGAL fees for Walmart to defend itself will be ridiculous.......and with the way the MEN IN BLACK operate these days......the chance of them winning bears worse odds than a coin toss....
these baffooooons are the epitome of litigious terrorists....
when will people wake up and stop trying to get out of jury duty....jury duty is not just a civil duty..it is our VOTE and VOICE on the court systems.....(although THIS case will probably be decided by a judge, not a jury...)
the OJ case is the perfect example of VOTING from the JURY box....
Good eye.
They certainly did. $25 million is a mite steep.
God, I love Wal-Mart, but I bet Wal-Mart caves.
I think under other circumstances this might be called... entrapment?
You're not trying to cheer me up, are you?
Question:
If Wal-Mart became a club-style store such as Cosco would they be exempt from so many lawsuits?
Cosco aren't unionized either and they impact environment standards by huge parking lots for their big box stores - but nobody ever touches them with lawsuits.
Is it because they have a membership rather than the casual shopper? Wal-Mart already has their Sam's Club stores - why not the Wal-Mart Club stores too? Would it make any difference? All these lawsuits are going to trickle down to the consumer - thus raising the prices offered to people now.
I don't know the prevailing laws on this.
I thought he was talking about the misspelling of the word "perception". Why is it a "hando"?
