7. Allowing them not to carry this puts women at risk
"Oh, she can always get a surgical abortion, but I want to keep my own hands clean," sounds like an inferior moral defense for anything.

After all, this is something that protects a woman's health, finances, social support and LIFE. Forcing any drug store worthy of the name is the no brainer. Women need to know that when they approach a DRUG STORE, that store stocks what they need in the way of DRUGS.

The problem with slippery slope ideas is that they so very rarely occur in reality. "Give em an inch and they'll take a mile" is silly when the inch is all they're asking for and all they really need.

I don't see anybody proposing that drug stores stock anything but women's health items. They haven't had a problem stocking Viagra, you know.
