Wal-Mart Must Stock Contraception
Wal-Mart has been ordered by the state pharmacy board on Tuesday to stock emergency contraception pills at its stores in Massachusetts.
The board took this action after Wal-Mart was sued for failing to stock the abortion drugs in their stores in the state. Katrina McCarty, 29, of Somerville, Julia Battel, 37, of Boston, and Dr. Rebekah Gee, 30, of Boston were turned away when they tried to buy emergency contraception pills at area Wal-Marts.

According to CNN, “The women said they knew they would be refused when they went to the Wal-Marts in Quincy and Lynn and that the action was planned with the abortion rights groups and lawyers.”
LifeSiteNews.com has reported that “at least two of the women involved are themselves activists pushing the abortifacient drugs.”
