More Bad News

Lisa Ko - November 10, 2004

If Harry's entry [1] about Iris Chang's suicide wasn't disturbing enough, I just found a few more disturbing links while reading the news.

Namely, that pharmacists are now refusing to dispense birth control on "moral grounds" [2]. (I read a similar blurb here [3] a few months back, as well.) Since when is the birth control pill considered an abortion? And since when can one's personal beliefs interfere with fulfilling prescriptions and providing basic medical care? Seriously, I am so disturbed. Tell me I'm not the only one.
