Back to the kitchen, and take off your shoes on the way...
Via Brilliant at Breakfast, it seems that contraception is the next target in line after abortion:
In April, Julee Lacey, 33, a Fort Worth, TX, mother of two, went to her local CVS drugstore for a last-minute Pill refill. She had been getting her prescription filled there for a year, so she was astonished when the pharmacist told her, "I personally don't believe in birth control and therefore I'm not going to fill your prescription." Lacey, an elementary school teacher, was shocked. "The pharmacist had no idea why I was even taking the Pill. I might have needed it for a medical condition."
Melissa Kelley, 35, was just as stunned when her gynecologist told her she would not renew her prescription for birth control pills last fall.
"She told me she couldn't in good faith prescribe the Pill anymore," says Kelley, who lives with her husband and son in Allentown, PA. Then the gynecologist told Kelley she wouldn't be able to get a new prescription from her family doctor, either. "She said my primary care physician was the one who helped her make the decision." Lacey's pharmacist and Kelley's doctors are among hundreds, perhaps thousands, of physicians and pharmacists who now adhere to a controversial belief that birth control pills and other forms of hormonal contraception--including the skin patch, the vaginal ring, and progesterone injections--cause tens of thousands of "silent" abortions every year. Consequently, they are refusing to prescribe or dispense them.

Shall we start up a campaign to get Lady Chatterley's Lover banned? It would seem to be the logical next step.
well I did see a woman standing on a corner in Mt.Pleasant, MI, probably a 50-50 blue/red town with a sign that said "Planned Parenthood promotes immorality". PP is that primary dispenser of b.c. prescriptions for those of us who can't afford a primary care physican. I came very close to calling her out but I was on the other side of the street and it was raining.. so I laughed at her instead. But I can see it happening.
