Let us be clear here. These people are not "pro-life". They are anti-abortion. Yet this practice of not using contraceptives is the worst thing for preventing abortion.

This is like saying you don't want troops to die in combat, but you don't believe in them using body armor or helmets.

Deluded.

Not even condoms? That is not pro-life, that is definitely pro-sexually-transmitted-desea­ses!

hey idiot lady did you know that theres a lot of other medicines that they DO sell here that can kill a fetus in utero? They'd have nothing to sell if they got rid of everything that could possibly be dangerous to a pregnant lady!

oh f#ck you all religious nut jobs, what about women like me with a medical need to use the pill to regulate my periods and stop the hemoraging, agonizing cramps, constant bleeding for weeks on end, violent mood swings, the anemia and iron loss due to server blood loss that ended up putting me in hospital when i was 14, what would this self rightious c**t tell me, i don't use it for contraception even though thats an added benefit, what happens to women like me at places like this, what happens.

Let's just let pharmacies decide what kind of medication other people should be allowed to have.

If you're unwilling to do your job as a pharmacist, then get a new job!

you would think that pharmacists of all people would know that birth control has more than one use. it can be used for more than just preventing getting pregnant. i use it to control my "special time of the month". it has nothing to do with preventing a pregnancy. is that against morals? to want to be a normal female?

Dark agent, why did you take God's Name in vain for?

Irene Starrs, you dumb stupid cretin.

I restate what I said, she said "there are medicines that can kill a baby in the womb". That doesn't address contraception does it? Cyanide can kill the baby in the womb, granted its not sold in pharmacies (I don't think). Of course there's medicine that can kill your baby, you realize their called prescriptions for certain diseases right? You don't take anti-cancer drugs and call it contraception do you? Do you Irene? Choke.

[Synopsism]

Kill a baby in the womb? That dumb bitch doesn't know anything! Oral contraceptives prevent the egg from implanting in the uterine wall, did I mention a baby? NO. Condoms? Condoms kill babies? NO. No contraception kills fetuses. What a delusional bitch.

Oh you're right. After all, that means people might have to either drive miles away or not have sex. That would be horrible. The world would come to an end.
