Beyond Roe: Access Denied
09 July 2004"In April, Julee Lacey, 33, a Fort Worth, TX, mother of two, went to her local CVS drugstore for a last-minute Pill refill. She had been getting her prescription filled there for a year, so she was astonished when the pharmacist told her, 'I personally don't believe in birth control and therefore I'm not going to fill your prescription.' Melissa Kelley, 35, was just as stunned when her gynecologist told her she would not renew her prescription for birth control pills last fall. 'She told me she couldn't in good faith prescribe the Pill anymore.'... Lacey's pharmacist and Kelley's doctors are among hundreds, perhaps thousands, of physicians and pharmacists who now adhere to a controversial belief that birth control pills and other forms of hormonal contraception--including the skin patch, the vaginal ring, and progesterone injections--cause tens of thousands of 'silent' abortions every year. Consequently, they are refusing to prescribe or dispense them." Read more of Caroline Bollinger's Prevention report, "Access Denied."
