This annoys me

I've been on the NARAL mailing list since I was about 19. NARAL is a national lobbying organization committed to keep abortion legal. For obvious reasons, being on NARAL's mailing list puts me on a lot of OTHER mailing lists

This is sort of off topic, but it's an opportunity to show you this link I found on the topic of EC denial

Regarding #2

First off, I think you missed what I was saying. It is ALREADY legal for large chains to decide not to provide contraception. No one is currently debating the right of business owners and corporate decision-makers to deny these products; that right is granted to them, and in fact, Wal-Mart does not carry EC. On either the corporate level or the level of an individual employee, organizations like PPFA are hard-pressed to demonstrate a situation where the refusal of an individual or a company to provide EC results in an inability for the woman to obtain EC at all. Most hospitals at which EC can be prescribed also have in-house pharmacies that will fill the prescription. (A Catholic hospital like St. E's, of course, will neither prescribe nor fill a prescription for EC, for moral reasons, and they are considered to be perfectly within their right to do so.) In the worst case scenario, a woman may have to drive to another town to fill a prescription, which you couldn't do with electricity, so the utility analogy isn't perfectly

Being pro life "fundie" myself, it is interesting to hear other perspectives an I appricate you speaking nicely and not perpetuating the loud and often incohearient angry language I often hear on both sides. I like hearing intelligent thought and although I may not agree with you on every aspect I appricate the mannor of your post. Thanks for sharing :)

And thank you for your reply. It's an issue about which emotions run high on both sides, but if we can't calm down and discuss things like adults, how will we ever get anything resolved?
