Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich wants every pharmacy in the state to post a sign that details what options customers have in buying contraceptives.

The new signs would notify customers that pharmacies must provide an alternative drug if they are out of stock or allow the prescription to be filled at a different pharmacy. The signs also will list a toll-free [800-280-4149] pharmacy hot line [and website] for complaints.

Dreamy! Next step? Let’s require hospitals to post similar signs informing rape victims they have a right to EC.

Talk about the worst trend ever. Lawmakers in Alabama have introduced abortion ban bills a la South Dakota.

Yeah, cause nothing says “family-friendly” like bullying rape and incest victims.

What is this, the third time already this week that all sexually active, nonmarried women have been called cheap whores?

Even if you solve a physical problem you still have not solved the moral, emotional and spiritual problems ...
