I ended up with an ectopic pregnancy after having to go to three different pharmacies to get Plan B. I was told “God don’t want that” and took it so late that everything fucked up and I had to be hospitalized. Fuck Georgia. You can believe in your delusions but when they interfere with my right to care a doctor has…

When I was a medical student on my obstetrics rotations in South Carolina, this happened to one of my patients at least once a week. This happened at all of the major pharmacies, including Walmart.

Or just call the store and ask for the pharmacy and ask them why they refused to fill the prescription. If they get hundreds of calls like that a day, that woman won’t be working there for long.

It would be nice if this argument could be used against any pharmacists that use the “against their religion” angle.

I am so tired of this shit. Do your fucking job! The pharmacist’s “feelings” are irrelevant. I wonder how many times I could have gotten out of performing job duties just because I “didn’t feel comfortable”. I worked in hemodialysis for years and “didn’t feel comfortable” treating bigoted, racist assholes, but I did.…

this is so upsetting. thankfully, i have never sought out an abortion, had a miscarriage, or needed that particular drug. but i have bought the morning after pill on about 2 different occasions. i had the pharmacist refuse to sell them to me as well, even though i was 21 and 24 both times. well above the “no younger…

Believe it or not, I’ve heard of people using this argument successfully. Usually it’s when they’re arguing with an insurance company drone about paying for something that the insurer claims is “not medically necessary.” All it takes is pointing out that said drone is not, in fact, a physician, and saying something to…

So let me get this straight...

The pharmacist is overruling a doctor’s prescription. Can the pharmacist be charged for practicing medicine without a license?

Wow. I may find the conscientious objector the annoying to say the least, but it takes balls the size of coconuts to come right out and say, “I know better than the actual medical doctor that wrote this prescription.” But it’s the pharmacist’s people who are persecuted in this country because someone asked them to…

Find and release the name of the pharmacist.

id say boys received less negative feedback for wanting to be “in charge” or for being “bossy”. i don’t think it was a case of “you’re a girl. you can’t do that”

As far as I can tell, its an argument that’s being phased out in favor of more representative facts i.e the difference in men’s wages and women’s wages by industry. I imagine the wage gap for most generic corporate jobs nowadays is pretty small, but (from what I understand), it expands when you look at low-income,…

Yes, I was trying real hard to be straight so I would meet girls in teen chats and then we would be all "OMG WE SHOULD GET MARRIED" and send each other e-cards and emails about how much we loved each other and then later that year I discovered there were chats where you could go and talk to other dudes who might also…

I just want to leave the following summary of the research here. 41% of the wage gap is unexplained (meaning that 41% of the wage gap cannot be accounted for by differences in experience, hours, career choices, etc.). I refuse to reply directly to the asses in the greys questioning the wage gap but I think this is…

Is it perfectly ok for women to ask for a raise? I thought women got into trouble for that.

Next we’ll be giving women AND men maternity leave!

And it’s a woman who wrote it. But, of course, it’s a woman who writes for WaPo. She probably thinks all women bloggers are mommy bloggers, while what she’s doing is Journalism.

i’d be marginally okay with it if they referred to the Vice interview as “Obama journeys to the land of pretentious hipster douchebags”, but of course they added the qualifier for this interview because females AMIRITE

I had no cash. I was kicking myself for it. Next time…next time...
