Wal-Mart US told to carry the morning-after pill

Here is something I never thought would be an issue.

Wal-Mart"chooses not to carry many products for business reasons." Despite having room for ammunition, tobacco products and McDonalds, the morning-after pill was not available.

Not in any US Wal-Mart.

Except Illinois. Where they were required by law.

Well, that's about to change.

A recent court decision in Massachusetts is about to change that, and Wal-Mart will have to make the contraceptive available in its pharmacy.

Available contraception is not something I've ever had to worry about.

Amazing that some still do have to worry.

Amazing that they only live about an hour-and-a-half away.
