Pro-Life Pharmacies

There aren't too many out there yet, but let's hope a pro-life pharmacy will open in your town soon!

"Contraception is essential for women's health. A pharmacy like this is walling off an essential part of health care. That could endanger women's health,” said Marcia Greenberger of the National Women's Law Center.

The Family Research Council, however, disagreed.

“On the contrary, what endangers women's health is the propaganda by Planned Parenthood and others that insists ‘emergency contraception’ is safe, when it can and has caused serious side effects,” the group said in a statement.

“The lack of contraception isn't killing any woman. Sexual promiscuity, on the other hand, is. We commend these drugstores for creating a safe environment for employees and consumers of moral and religious conviction,” the FRC added.

Pro-life pharmacies, the FRC stressed, would be identical to any other pharmacy, except for the absence of contraceptives and drugs that could be used for an abortion like the so-called “morning after” pill.
