Local time where you're at. ("Where you're at"?)

For years, Wal-Mart’s been a godsend for me as far as grocery shopping goes.&#160 Good prices, nice selection – and as of recently, they’d finally begun to stock what used to be a staple in my household – beef heart.

(Don’t gag.&#160 Bread it and fry it in a quarter-inch of Crisco&#169 sometime, and bake some biscuits or cook some pancakes with it.&#160 Damned fine breakfast, IYAM.)

However, now it’s looking like Wal-Mart no longer wants my business.&#160 Or that of my fellow pro-lifers, for that matter.&#160 Wally World has decided to cave in to the bastards in Massachewshits, Ill Noise (read:&#160 Shit-cago) and any other fucktards who may file suit against them, and stock the so-called “morning after” pill (read:&#160 RU-486).

Officials of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. announced Friday the company will reverse its earlier policy and stock emergency contraception pills in all of its pharmacies effective March 20, saying the giant retailer could not justify being the country’s only major pharmacy chain not to carry the morning-after pill.

The announcement comes after Massachusetts last month ordered the world’s largest retailer to stock the so-called Plan B pill, following a lawsuit by three Boston women against Wal-Mart.

Typical liberal shits:&#160 Going to the courts to get what they can’t get through otherwise legitimate means.&#160 Whining to Mommy & Daddy after the older brother won’t let them have what’s not theirs to begin with.&#160 Sniveling to Uncle Sugar if Mom & Dad say no, too.

Patently deserving to be taken over the knee and have the shit beaten out of them.

Illinois also requires pharmacies to carry the prescription drug, and those are the only two states where Wal-Mart has so far stocked emergency contraception.

You’ll notice, Denizens, that it’s only libtard blue states (what, they didn’t like being called “red states” because it reminded people too well that they’re fuckin’ Communists?) that are imposing its will upon Wal-Mart?

Same bastards, I need not remind you, who bitch & moan about others (*coughConservativeChristianscough*) “imposing their morals” on them.

“We expect more states to require us to sell emergency contraceptives in the months ahead,” said Ron Chomiuk, vice president of pharmacy for Bentonville, Ark.-based Wal-Mart.

“Because of this, and the fact that this is an FDA-approved product, we feel it is difficult to justify being the country’s only major pharmacy chain not selling it,” Chomiuk said in a statement.

Translation:&#160 We’re tired of fighting this, so we’re going to just lay our spine over to the side and go along to get along.&#160 Never mind that our right-thinking customers might go elsewhere to get their stuff.

Chomiuk said the company will maintain its conscientious objection policy, which it said is consistent with the tenets of the American Pharmaceutical Association. The policy, except where prohibited by law, allows any Wal-Mart or Sam’s Club pharmacy employee who does not feel comfortable dispensing a prescription to refer customers to another pharmacist or pharmacy.

Oh, right.&#160 Sure.&#160 I’d love to see what happens to the first pharmacist who attempts to employ the “conscientious objector” codicil.&#160 Five’ll get you ten that said “conscientious objector” becomes an “unemployed conscientious objector” within one week after the objection.

The retailer has previously said it “chooses not to carry many products for business reasons,” but has refused to elaborate. A Wal-Mart lawyer in the Massachusetts lawsuit said the company did not believe that emergency contraception was commonly prescribed or within the “usual needs of the community.”

Unless, of course, said community is a bunch of undisciplined gigolos & sluts who have no self-control and can’t keep their pants on as a result.

National women’s and family planning groups called on Wal-Mart to change policy and start stocking emergency contraception pills in its pharmacies after the Boston lawsuit filed Feb. 1.

The groups, including the National Organization for Women, NARAL Pro-Choice America, Planned Parenthood and the National Council of Women’s Organizations

All groups that should set the example for all of us and abort themselves.

said Wal-Mart did not have the right to overrule a doctor’s prescription of emergency contraception for a woman.

Bullshit.&#160 None of these groups has any legal right to tell a business what it can or can’t sell.&#160 What – are we gonna require Mom & Pop’s Vacuum Cleaners to…well, you get the drift.

Connecticut added pressure Thursday when Attorney General Richard Blumenthal said the insurance plan for 188,000 state employees and retirees should no longer cover prescriptions at Wal-Mart unless the retail giant agrees to stock emergency contraception pills.

To which the Federal Government should respond by withholding federal tax disbursements to states who try to illegally coerce Wal-Mart to carry items they don’t want to carry.

Fat chance of that&#160 happening.&#160 After all, we’re well aware that W stands for Worship – that is, of the Green God of the Alter of the Almighty Dollar (insert gratuitous reference to half-assed Dubai Ports deal here).

Wal-Mart’s critics welcomed the change.

“We commend Wal-Mart for taking an important first step towards allowing women access to safe and legal medication,” Andrew Grossman, executive director of union-backed campaign group WalMartWatch.com, said in a statement.

Ah, yes.&#160 A limp-wristed union hack praising yet another company for turning its back on its right-thinking customer base.

WalMartWatch.com said Wal-Mart should now look at changing what it claimed were other business practices that harm women, including inequality in pay and promotions that are alleged in a class-action federal lawsuit against the retailer pending in San Francisco. Wal-Mart has denied those allegations.

See?&#160 Typical liberal shitheads.&#160 Never satisfied.&#160 Pushing for more and more bullshit to which they’re not entitled, just like little five-year-old Billy who pushes for more toys once Mommy & Daddy break down and buy him one.

Hope it’s worth the drop in business you’re going to experience as a result, Wally World.&#160 I know this much – it’s time for me to find another grocery store.

   Spats,

   Years ago, my mife’s doctor prescribed a medication that the pharmacy we were using at the time dod not stock. We merely founda another pharmacy, and have been doing businness with them for about 15 years. Do the people of Massechusetts and Illinois not have the sense to do this?
