• The Boston Globe reports that three Massachusetts women have filed a lawsuit against Wal-Mart because the retailer doesn’t carry the contraceptive device known as the “morning after pill.” The lawsuit is based on state pharmacy regulations, according to an attorney representing the women; however, the Globe reports that there doesn’t seem to be any legal requirement that a pharmacy carry such a drug.
The retailer acknowledged that it does not carry the pill, and said it is for “business reasons.” The Wal-Mart spokesperson also said that it was company policy to refer customers to other pharmacies in such cases.
The lawsuit is being backed by several pro-choice organizations, according to the Globe.
