Wal-Mart urged to stock day-after pill

[MaineDem]

A coalition of women's groups and family-planning organizations on Friday urged Wal-Mart Stores Inc. to change its policy and start stocking emergency contraceptive pills in its pharmacies.

...

Their joint statement came in the same week that three Boston women filed a suit against Wal-Mart, contending that the retail giant violated Massachusetts state law by failing to stock emergency contraceptives, also known as "morning-after" pills, in its pharmacies.

...

Signatories were the National Organization for Women, NARAL Pro-Choice America, Planned Parenthood and the National Council of Women's Organizations, together with a union-funded anti-Wal-Mart campaign group, WakeUpWalmart.com.

Wal-Mart has said it does not stock the drug for business reasons because it is not commonly prescribed. But Wal-Mart indicated for the first time Friday it may be rethinking that policy.
