Women In Need: Help With Emergency Contraception

Media Girl also points us to a service that provides genuine compassion to women in need of emergency contraception:

This link is where you can get Plan B emergency contraception.
    Welcome to Emergency Kindness, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing emergency contraception for women in need.

    Emergency Kindness is run by a team of "Janes" spread throughout the country. EC is hard to get in America due to the widespread practice of doctors and pharmacists refusing to give the pill because it conflicts with their personal beliefs. If you are having trouble procuring EC, we will do everything in our power to get it to you before your 72 hours are up.
And this link is the Emergency Kindness blog about emergency contraception.

Unfortunately, these kinds of efforts are necessary so that women in need of contraception are not held hostage and victimized by pharmacists who want to play doctor. If a pharmacist has "moral objections" to dispensing legal pharmaceuticals, such as Plan B emergency contraception birth control pills, then he or she should find a different profession.
Truer words are rarely said. TY, Media Girl, and tyvm to these "Janes."
