Wal-Mart's Action On Emergency Contraception Not Good Enough

Wal-Mart announced that they will now carry Emergency Contraception in their stores, but will allow their pharmacies to refuse to dispense it.  Here's the NY Times story, and here's the LA Times piece.

Research by the Kasier Family Foundation indicates that more widespread availability of Emergency Contraception might reduce abortions by as many as 700,000 each year.

Researchers estimate that widespread use of EC could potentially prevent up to half of the approximately 3 million unintended pregnancies that occur annually in the U.S., and one study has suggested that broader use could help prevent as many as 700,000 pregnancies that now result in abortion.

Keep the pressure on Wal-Mart about this issue.
