rich, we aren't talking about outlawing anything here. certainly not outlawing an abortion to kill a rapists baby so you can put that scenario away.

Well, one pharmacist had a
different interpretation.
I don't know about it being a standard in a rape kit, since it is not yet an over the counter medication. It might be standard for a doctor to prescribe it, but a pharmacy has to fill the perscription, which was a problem here. Can you imagine having to run around ot fill a perscription like that after a rape? Can you imagine what it would feel like to be turned away by the pharmacist? Maybe she should have told him the circumstances in detail?
I thought we had gotten over this whole tendency to re-traumitize the rape victim thing back in the 80's.
Fortunately, the pharmacy also has the right to
fire the pharmacist .
