Virginia Pharmacy adds to contraceptive debate
I found this article on MSNBC.com today about a new pharmacy in Virginia that does not dispense contraception of any kind...no condoms, no morning-after pills, and no birth-control. This issue is one that I am still really struggling with in terms of my own thoughts on the issue. I do feel as though business owners ought to be able to sell or not sell whatever they want, but I also feel that there needs to be access to these items in a given area, since many people do not share the Catholic view point on this issue. Perhaps states need to come up with rules that allow for everyone to be within 20 miles of a pharmacy that does sell contraception, I don't really know. It is a very difficult issue, and so I post this article to get everyone thinking about it, so that we as pharmacists can devise a solution to this problem that will satisfy both the pharmacist community and the patient community at large.
