Sorry, no scrip for you! My invisible sky friend might get upset.

Her doctor recommended she take the drug after she miscarried about five weeks into her pregnancy, enabling her to avoid undergoing a more invasive procedure. But Misoprostol can also be used with Mifepristone to end a pregnancy in its early stages. She suspects that it was for that reason that the store refused her prescription without providing a reason.

While she was able to obtain the medication somewhere else, she brought the issue up again when visiting the store to fill out a separate prescription.

“She looks at my name and she says ‘Oh, well, I couldn’t think of a valid reason why you would need this prescription,’” Cartrett said. “I tell her my reasons for needing it, and she says ‘Well, I don’t feel like there is a reason why you would need it, so we refused to fill it.’”
