Charlie, you couldn't be more right. I think perhaps I've become too used to having a mostly female audience. Certainly, this is an issue that affects men, as well, and it's too easy to assume that men a) don't care about these issues from a pro-female perspective, b) can't be feminists (though it's a rare man OR woman who embraces that moniker these days, sadly).

This issue sends me through the roof with rage. I would like to point out that even your male readers should care about this issue. We all have mothers, sisters, wives and friends. There really isn't any such thing as a "woman's issue."

I absolutely cannot believe that there are pharmacys out there that would do this. Birth control is a really old battle I thought we won a long time ago. I know the Catholic church still claims they're against it, but come on...even people who consider themselves "good Catholics" use birth control. Some degree of controversy over the morning after pill I would expect, since abortion is such a hot-button issue now, but birth control? What century is this, anyway?

It's a relief to know that there are some (dare I hope for a majority?) of pharmacists in this country who see the craziness of this practice.

Please thank your mom for all of us, Katherine. She's got the right idea. :)

Wow, this is incredible! How offensive, especially since it's 2006 not 1906! I asked my mom (a pharmacist) her thoughts about this. She said she felt it was wrong for a pharmacist - or anyone whose job it is to provide service to someone else - to impose their personal views on a customer. Go Mom!

The whole concept that a pharmacist, whose job it is to fill prescriptions, would be allowed by their employer to refuse to fill a doctor's order for any type of medication is ludacris to me. What's next? Pharmacists who deny patients meds for drug addiction, alcoholism and STDs because the behavior that causes these diseases is a sin?
Thanks for providing info on where to let Target know how I feel.

My running joke is that, "Walmart is run by the Debil!" And no, "Debil" is not a typo. Which would make Target being run by God fearing people with contraceptive issues that much funnier. Screw them both. See how well they do when women stop shopping there all together.

I have a creepy feeling that Target is the next Walmart. :(

I've had birth control scrips filled there with no problem, though. I guess I just got lucky.

More evidence that the patriarchy is so threatened by women's refusal to bow down and worship them(as in days of yore). So the asshats at Target hope to keep women pregnant and sidelined. I wouldn't be surprised if they began aiming to keep us barefoot as well and stopped selling women's shoes.
