We've got it, but you can't buy it. HAHAHAHA!

Plan B is now legally available over the counter, and it's Wal-Mart policy to must stock it.

But there are still ignorant pharmacists who won't give it out.

This month, Tashina Byrd, her boyfriend and her 4-year-old son headed to a Springfield Wal-Mart to pick up some things, including Plan B.
....
When the pharmacy attendant asked pharmacist Brent Beams about it, "He shook his head and laughed," Byrd said.

The attendant told them the store had Plan B but that nobody would give it to them, the couple said.
....
Reached last week at the pharmacy, Beams explained his position: "I believe in preserving life, and I do not believe in ending life, and life begins at conception."

Neither the pharmacy attendant nor the store manager would sell it to her, despite Wal-Mart's policy that "any Wal-Mart worker who does not feel comfortable dispensing a product to refer customers to another pharmacist, pharmacy worker or sales associate."

Luckily, Byrd is a smart chica:

Byrd wrote Gov. Ted Strickland and contacted NARAL Pro-Choice America and Wal-Mart Watch, an activist group that seeks to change the retailer’s practices.

"I could go to church if I wanted to be told how to live my life," she said.

The Ohio journalists covering the case are smart, too: the reporter for the Columbus Dispatch points out that Plan B "prevents pregnancy and . . . is not the abortion pill, RU-486." Likewise, the Dayton Daily News reports that

The pharmacist could have used the same rationale to decline to fill Byrd's birth-control prescription. Plan B isn't the abortion-pill RU 486, which must be dispensed from a doctor's office. It doesn't end a pregnancy; it prevents a pregnancy from taking place.

Some pharmacists say that the problem is a hold up in an FDA educational plan to instruct pharmacists about the drug.

Reporters can figure it out. What's the hold up, pharmacists?
