Please consider signing this petition and adding that you want Emergency Contraception protected as well as birth control. Stores would fire anyone who refused to see another product for any reason so why should fundy pharmacists get special rights? Can mormon clerks refuse to see coffee? Can muslims refuse to sell alcohol? Can christians refuse to work sundays? Can jews refuse to sell non-kosher food? Can religious vegetarians refuse to sell meat including medications with gelatin capsules? don't think so!

Tell Congress to protect your access to birth control
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/557320029

Targets: U.S. Senate; House of Representatives
Sponsor: NARAL Pro-Choice AmericaSignatures: 4,836
Goal: 20,000
Deadline: Ongoing...


More and more women are being denied their doctor-prescribed birth control pills across the country.

As many as 20 states have laws on the books that put a pharmacist’s personal views above a woman’s right to safe and legal birth control – making it even easier for pharmacists to deny women access to prescription contraceptives. Birth control is basic health care for the vast majority of American women, and no third party should be able to stop a woman from taking responsibility for her reproductive health!

That's why a bipartisan group of pro-choice members of Congress - Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ), Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), Rep. Chris Shays (R-CT), and others have introduced a bill to ensure that women can get their birth control prescriptions filled - without intimidation, inconvenience, or delay. Under the Access to Legal Pharmaceuticals Act (ALPhA), pharmacies would be responsible for filling women’s birth control prescriptions even if a pharmacist refuses for personal reasons.

Please send a letter to your federal lawmakers urging them to support this bill. Help us put a stop to the far-right’s anti-birth control agenda by taking action today.

Urge the FDA to improve access to the morning-after pill

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/127076967

The Bush administration has broken its promise to make a decision on the morning-after pill by September 1.

American women have waited more than two years for the FDA to decide whether women can purchase the morning-after pill over the counter. The delays persist despite The Bush administration's explicit promise to the U.S. Senate that the FDA would stop dragging its feet and issue a decision by September 1.

Now that Lester Crawford has abruptly resigned his post as Commissioner after just three months on the job, we have a real opportunity for progress under new FDA leadership.

Join us in telling the FDA that Americans are fed up with anti-choice politics getting in the way of sound science and women's access to birth control. Sign our petition to the FDA today.

Tell pharmacy chains to stop discriminating against women
Targets: Walgreens Pharmacies; Eckerd Pharmacies; RiteAid Pharmacies; Wal-Mart Pharmacies;

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/792375278

Don't let far-right extremists send women's rights back to the 1800s...

In as many as 20 states, pharmacies can refuse to fill women's prescriptions for contraception, including the morning-after pill.

When a woman and her doctor decide that a prescription for contraception is in the woman's best interest, a third party has no right to override that decision. Pharmacies must ensure that patients get their doctor-prescribed medication without delay or inconvenience.

Join NARAL Pro-Choice America in telling our nation's biggest pharmacies (Wal-Mart, CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreen's, and Eckerd's) not to stand between a woman and her physician. Please personalize your letter with a story or experience.
UPDATE: As a result of your letters, CVS Pharmacy just released a new policy to fill all birth control prescriptions without delay. Good work! Let's keep up the pressure.
