There's got to be a morning after...

Three misguided Massachusetts women backed by pro-abortion groups are right now engaged in suing discount giant WalMart in a attempt to force them to reverse a corporate decision not to offer the morning after abortion pill in their pharmacy network unless it is required by law (only in Illinois). I have no idea why the normally politically correct WalMart has made this decision but I applaud them. Whatever you believe, WalMart's reasoning really doesn't matter. These women have either misread the Massachusetts law or have gotten some poor legal advice. Massachusetts' like most state's laws say that pharmacies "may" carry the pill, not "must". Regardless, no matter how big they are WalMart is a private company. There should be no way that the government, the courts or any private interest group should be able to tell a privately held business what to sell. WalMart, along with many other retailers, have also removed girlie magazines, some violent video games and other products they deemed inappropriate for their stores/customers. Should they be forced to stock those items as well? They are legal after all. Target decided a few years ago that they would no longer sell cigarettes (another legal product), should the government force them to sell that product? Of course not! The left would have you believe that this is a case about abortion rights, that the debate is about the availability of this particular drug; it's not! There will be many corporations without a conscience that will choose to sell this drug, it's WalMart's choice not to. More importantly, it is the consumer's choice where to shop! Don't like it? Vote with your feet! Isn't there a K-Mart across the street?
