Looking for Plan C?

Pharmacists in Illinois are refusing to fill prescriptions for emergency contraception, claiming that the "morning after" pill constitutes a form of abortion, since it can work after an egg is fertilized. Illinois Governor Rod R. Blagojevich has ordered pharmacies in his state to fill all prescriptions, claming that health issues take precedence over personal beliefs.

According to the emergency contraception website, the "morning after" pill, which is called Plan B, is not effective if a woman is pregnant; it cannot terminate an established pregnancy.

Many advocates for women's reproductive rights have been pushing the FDA to sell Plan B over the counter.

There are many questions as to whether pharmacists should even have the authority to refuse customers health services. Some critics suggest that pharmacists who refuse sale of plan B should at least post something clearly stating their position, so customers will not have to be refused at the counter. Real Time host Bill Maher has jokingly suggested that pharmacists also discontinue sale of makeup since everyone knows "Only sluts paint their faces."

Edmonton dominated the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night and the 4-0 margin in Game 6 makes it hard to imagine the Oilers not hoisting hockey's Holy Grail above their heads in less than 48 hours. And it would not come as any shock to see defenseman Chris Pronger, who had another 31-minute night, take the honors for the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff MVP.
