They’ll require it to be truly “over the counter” as in behind the counter at the pharmacy and you have to ask for it. Like real Sudafed.
And then you’ll get the shitty pharmacists/techs that won’t sell it on “personal beliefs” grounds like plan B.
Exactly. But, as another person pointed out this does make it easily obtainable by delivery.
True, but that introduces a whole other set of hurdles.
For example teenagers with strict, religious, or abusive parents probably wouldn’t be able to get it delivered without their parents knowing. And those teenagers are one of the biggest groups that OTC birth control would benefit.
Yes, everysingle decision made will have a negative impact to someone. This overall is much better than it was yesterday. Those same teenagers were in the same situation with a possibility of it being better. Let’s move on from finding some possibility that effects a super minority and poo poo the good news
Nobody is poo pooing anything. We’re pointing out the reality that the shithole red states will do everything they can to make sure the women who need this cannot get it. Just like they do with plan B and other contraception.
I can't wait to see how that scenario plays out in court when there is a conflict between the pharmacist's beliefs and the customer's freedom of speech religious rights related to recent rulings. But I suppose given the precedent set by SCOTUS the pharmacist is allowed to disriminate based on their religious beliefs...yeah, it'll be interesting. I hope to see the christofascist efforts backfire by everyone else using their own shit tactics against them.
