Pharmacy draws fire for stopping the sale of birth control pills

[Mannyfit75]

This article reminds me of a lecture Fr. Corapi said in his Catechism Teaching of Jesus Christ series.

The Article is dated 17 JUNE 2007, it’s very recent, and the owner of the pharmacy refuse to sell birth control.

Here is an excerpt of the article:

A Great Falls pharmacy’s decision to phase out the sale of prescription birth control pills for moral reasons is stirring a small firestorm of controversy locally and a buzz of criticism nationwide on women’s health Web sites.

The state of Montana has no law that requires pharmacists to carry all prescription products, but some women’s groups fear it’s part of a national trend by activist pharmacists to restrict use of birth control pills.

The new owners of Snyder Drug, Stuart and Kyla Anderson and Kurt and Kori Depner, say they started phasing out the filling of oral contraceptive prescriptions in early May for moral and business reasons.

They are not accepting any new prescriptions for the drugs and have told current customers they will stop filling oral contraceptive orders when their existing supply runs out, probably in a month or two, Stuart Anderson said.
