Planned Parenthood Protest Rally against Target/Sarasota

[graywarrior]

Tuesday, December 6 at 4:00 pm at Target on Fruitville & Honore in Sarasota.

Target Corp refuses to change its policy of allowing its pharmacists to refuse to fill a doctor's prescription for Emergency Contraception.

1. Maybe we should begin a boycott Target for the holiday. I am

on board now. Want to join me? Of course we have to call and let powers that be know why we are not in their store.

2. Here's the response I got from an email I sent them a month ago

Dear

Target is extremely disappointed that Planned Parenthood is spreading misleading information about an alleged incident at a Target pharmacy in Missouri and our policies on emergency contraception. The accounts being reported are inaccurate and exaggerated. Our policy is comparable to that of many other national retailers and the recommendations of the American Pharmacists Association.

Target consistently ensures that prescriptions for emergency contraception are filled. As an Equal Opportunity Employer, we also are legally required to accommodate our team members’ sincerely held religious beliefs as required by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In the unusual event that a Target pharmacist’s sincerely held religious beliefs conflict with filling a guest’s prescription for emergency contraception, Target policy requires our pharmacists to take responsibility for ensuring that the guest’s prescription is filled in a timely and respectful manner. If it is not done in this manner, disciplinary action will be taken.

Target abides by all state and local laws and, in the event that other laws conflict with our policy, we will follow the law.

We appreciate the opportunity to clarify our position and correct misinformation.

Sincerely,


Jennifer Hanson
Target Executive Offices

3. boycott them nationwide.

they're a national company, they can set a national policy. they're not selling porn after all. Although the fact that the same approach is used related to two items of commerce with a sexual dimension deserves further consideration. I quickly arrive at an answer that's satisfactory to me personally though, which is that a hypocritical and immature society will twist and squirm as much as it can to continue indulging in its hypocrisy and immaturity. Like I said, 10-year olds tittering at "boobie" and "penis". Maybe if they got more they wouldn't have the problem.
