Another very important issue--

==================================================================
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 of pharmacies 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.

Sign this petition 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 medication
without delay or inconvenience!
