Thumbs up to Walgreens in South Florida

I was waiting in line to ask the pharmacist a question, when I started eye scanning the shelves behind the counter. There in plain view, at eye level, were packages of PLAN B.

1. Good news.

Glad to hear that some pharmacists aren't being strongarmed by the anti-choice movement.

2. I give up. What's Plan B? Sounds spooky. nt

3. A high-dose birth-control pill that is taken after a condom breaks or after any

unprotected sex to prevent conception. Some pharmacists erroneously insist it is "an abortion pill" and refuse to dispense it and (in my opinion) they need to go elsewhere and find jobs they can handle.

Hospitals routinely give Plan B following a rape, unless it's a Catholic hospital, of course.

4. Thanks. The morning-after pill, right? Gotcha. nt

6. Yes, except it seems to work if taken within 72 hours.
