>The last time I checked, it was 2005. But incredibly, in as many as 
>20 states, pharmacies can refuse to fill women's prescriptions for 
>something as fundamental as birth control. Is this progress? Take 
>action:

>  Shockingly, there's a disturbing trend emerging across the country 
>-- pharmacies are refusing to fill women's prescriptions for birth 
>control on religious or ethical grounds. In response, Senator 
>Barbara Boxer (D-CA) has proposed a bill to require all pharmacies 
>to fill any legal prescription or refer customers to someone who 
>will. No delays, no hassles, no lectures.
>
>Common sense, right? Unfortunately, the religious right's 
>ideological opposition to both abortion and birth control is driving 
>this discriminatory trend.
>
>Send a letter today to stand up for a woman's right to full access 
>to prescription birth control:

>Let's make sure that pharmacies provide women - indeed, all of us -- 
>with our doctor-prescribed medications without delay or 
>inconvenience!

>Thank you for taking action today!
