So, I’m really
uncomfortable with this. I’m all about getting birth control without a prescription,
which as far as I’m concerned is the medical and insurance professions way to extort
money from women, and over the counter Morning-After-Pill because now pharmacists
can deny you access if they are opposed to it or birth control actually.
The video below is
the New York chapter of the National Women’s Liberation leading a flashmob
action demanding Morning-After-Pills be put on the shelf in a pharmacy in New
York City. I’m down with that cause, but the video shows a woman purchasing the
Morning-After-Pill (overpriced), but she can get it. They have it available.
Yelling and chanting at the low-wage staff members isn’t going to change the
law about where pharmacies can carry the Morning-After-Pill.
The group’s leader,
Erin Mahoney was asking for the Morning-After-Pill be on the shelf and demanded
that the Obama Administration and Health and Human Services eliminate the
sexist restrictions and put it over the counter. I can get behind this, but I’m
not sure this is the right means. I think their time would be better spent
performing this action in the Department of Health and Human Services.
