About a month ago I was horrified to see the abortion pill on sale at Walgreens, big and bold, obvious and in-your-face, on the shelf next to the Claritin and Zyrtec. I was wishing for a pharmacy that didn't carry the abortion pill. Or at least didn't push it quite the way Walgreens does.
Well, guess what? A new pharmacy has opened in the Pick-&-Save strip mall at 164 and VV. It's next to George Webb. I went in today and asked if they carried the abortion pill. The pharmacist apologized that she didn't have any. She said she'd planned to order it but hadn't yet. I explained that I had been shocked and offended over the situation at Walgreens, and I was stopping by to determine if I might want to change pharmacies.
I also told her that, when I asked friends about a pharmacy that didn't push abortion, I heard from several people that they'd want to patronize such a pharmacy if there were one available. She said she wanted to fit in with the community and serve the community, and she was open to not-carrying the drug. She said that, if she did decide to carry the pill, it would be more appropriate for it to be behind the counter instead of out on the shelf. She said that, if Walgreens has it, it wouldn't be like she was preventing access to the pill for someone who really needed it. So if you're interested in encouraging this pharmacy to not-carry, now would be a good time to stop by and kindly ask if they might make a decision to win your business.
