Missouri lawmakers trying to make it harder for women to get emergency contraception

  • Missouri lawmakers want to protect physicians from giving you this.

Lawmakers in the Missouri House are awfully concerned with the fragile psyches -- and wallets -- of pharmacists. So much so that on Tuesday, they voted 109-42 to pass an amendment that would allow pharmacists to refuse to dispense birth control.

State Rep. Ed Emery (Republican from Lamar) sponsored the amendment that would allow pharmacists to not stock emergency contraception such as hormonal birth control, the morning after pill and RU 486. The amendment would also protect them from being sued if they don't fill such prescriptions.

And here I thought CVS locking condoms in a glass case was a roadblock to contraception.

There is no f&^j'ing thing as EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION!!!! You either want to have a kid or you don't. KC Star/Pitch Editor, wake up! Bastard liberal media. But, I am for dispensing birth control to anyone in the midst of puberty, adolescence or adulthood. Religion has nothing to do with biology. Secondly, government should not subsidize any abortion related expense, including RU486. It is in the best interest of society to realize ANY TYPE of abortion is a prevention of human evolution. FACT!!

I applaud Missouri and their decision to take away condoms from children. It's obvious that the best way to stop kids from fucking is to take away their condoms. Everyone knows kids don't have sex without condoms.
