New Yorkers (us in the city, anyway) have a certain level of disdain for all things New Jersey. Not quite the same level as for, say, Long Island--but there's an expected amount of mocking of the garden state. Don't ask me why, it's a NY thing.
Well mock no more, my NYC brethren. Cause NJ just took it up a notch.
A pharmacy would be required to fill prescriptions for any drug it stocks such as birth-control pills regardless of a pharmacist's moral beliefs under a bill that cleared the Legislature on Monday.The bill, approved 56-18 by the Assembly, establishes a pharmacy's duty to fill lawful prescriptions without undue delay and without consideration for a pharmacist's moral, philosophical or religious beliefs.
If a pharmacy doesn't have a prescription in stock, the pharmacy would have to either obtain it under expedited ordering or find a nearby pharmacy to fill the prescription.
NJ, I knew I loved you for a reason.

I (heart) New Jersey!
This makes for a very happy Thursday morning for me and probably many other women.
Fuck it--I'm moving to New Jersey.
Don't mess with Jersey, biatches! We've always been cooler than you, we just didn't want you to know about it. ;)
I don't know. Rep Garrett of NJ is one of the fuckwits behind H.R. 1094, also known as the Sanctity of Life Act of 2007 ( http://thomas.loc.gov/home/gpoxmlc110/h1094_ih.xml)which is currently in the House Judiciary Committee.
As a Jersey girl, I must express my joy and pride in the proper vernacular of my people:
F*ck yeah!
I heart NJ. Fucking sweet!
*Is proud to be from NJ*
So now would be a bad time to say that I'm from NJ and live on Long Island? ;)
I second what Dorothy said.
Don't worry, you can still make fun of how we drive!
My theory: NJ drivers are all reincarnated Japanese kamikaze pilots. It makes sense...
all I can say is, I'm proud to be a jersey girl. Knew it would mean something eventually.
Yea, Corzine at least has his head right when it comes to women's reproductive rights. Lol, back in '04, he had bagels delivered at 4 o'clock in the morning for us Rutgers delegates to March for Women's Lives. (Rutgers did have the largest number represented from a single group, btw.)
