Protest at Fry's over emergency contraception denial

Fri Oct 28, 2005 at 01:08:24 PM PDT

So after reading NCYellowDog's diary the other day about the rape victim in Tucson, AZ being denied emergency contraception, I was pleased to check my LiveJournal friends list this morning and find a post from my girlfriend-in-law (ok, she's my boyfriend's brother's wife. what do you call that?) describing a protest she attended at the Fry's in question.

update 1318: For the record, that's Fry's Marketplace the grocery store chain, not Fry's Electronics, the geek emporium.

update 1327: Article about the protest in the Arizona Daily wildcat: http://wildcat.arizona.edu/papers/98/209/01_1.html
Her protest speech:

A few days ago, a woman was raped.
She was raped and she came to this Fry's to get the morning after pill.
The pharmacist said: NO! I have a Moral Objection.
He took her choice!
He chose for her!
He chose that she had to risk having her Rapist's Baby!
This should NEVER happen!
but it Did.
It happened here at this Fry's!

Her full post about the event is here:
