RE: pro choice.

Discussion
1

I notice we've been getting a lot of postings of obviously right-wing commentators' remarks lately on this list...

These activists secured a victory Tuesday when the Massachusetts Board
of Registration in Pharmacy unanimously decided that Wal-Mart
pharmacies in the state must carry and dispense the morning-after pill
Plan B.

Folks, In the absence of a free market in medicine, the religious right is eagerly teaming up with their allies that control the distribution of medicine to advance their oppressive social agenda. Hiding behind the rhetoric of free markets doesn't fool anyone.

These "activists" recognize what is going on and given the present reality (not the libertarian ideal), should be commended on their victory.

I will be posting a message soon describing the plan that the religious right is using to roll back our reproductive freedoms back to the 1950's - including contraception.

The "pro-life" mvoement is not about reducing abortions -- that's just a propaganda ploy. It's all about asserting imperial control over the bodies of all Americans in the name of god. Those who are resisting should be commended and supported by freedom-loving people like us not reviled as "radical feminists".

The National Organization for Women sent out a similar,
shrill email Wednesday: "No woman at risk for unintended pregnancy, be
it the result of sexual assault or a broken condom, should be turned
away by Wal-Mart and forced to find another pharmacy while the clock
is ticking."

A statement that's hard to disagree with.

Ah, so now women have a right to emergency contraception at any
pharmacy of their choice. This precedent should disturb proponents of
free markets and small government.

Proponents of free markets and small government should be working toward a free market in medicine, where any woman can order a bottle of EC pills direct from the manufacturer asnd keep them handy in her medicine cabinet, without prescription or intervention by meddlesome pharmacists.

I know there are pro-life types on this list. So let's ask them: Would they be willing to work toward this happy state of affairs? Or would they prefer to keep an exception to the free market that allows EC to be regulated by government?

In the present, imperfect system, everyone will have to decide whether they consider the economic freedom of Wal-mart or the reproductive freedom of women (and men) is the higher value.

Dear David;
   
  In a perfect world we would not even have to be discussing reproductive rights as there would be no such laws state or federal on the books whether pro or con.
   
  It would be better for all if all state and federal such laws governing reproductive rights pro or con were stricken and immediately repealed.
   
  Each woman or family would then be allowed to decide for themselves based on their personal - social - religious - moral - ethical beliefs or whatever reasons they so choose to do what they had to do based on their own personal situation.
   
  Any reproductive laws which attempts to do this on behalf of any woman or family is nothing more than living under a restrictive state fascist dictatorship with the state fascist dictator making your decision for you because they know better what is best for you because you are a faceless nameless nothing to them to immediately do their bidding or else pay the painful consequences....

Dave, I figure
lefties might
not like this
decision to
make Walmart
carry a Pill,as
women who need
the pill would
pass by the
devil Walmart
and go to the
other guy maybe
even the devine
small
independant
drugstore.
and while I am
not doing what
I should be
doing which is
fruming up
signitured,
Here is a
nearly seven
year old link
that predicts
and explains
the explosive
potential of
the dollar
prive of Gold.
The utterly
crooked markeet
in gold paper
derivitives
designed to
make people
think that
paper is real
money so that
governments and
the
governmentspriv
ate bankers can
control money
to pay for war
and socialism
with inflation,
while the
bankers and
politicians
feather thier
own nest with
the legal
couterfeit
paper they
constantly
create. If you
read this and
understand this
you will
inderstand the
foundation of
the fraud. Any
quwstions are
welcome.
