    The link of not to bright was made by eyeballing her age (39) and the amount of kids (5)
    So it remains: how can you tell a person is bright from that info? Do tell.

    It's in the part of my post you edited.

    Go back and read it instead of deleting it.

    I know that's a reflex but still.

    There is no prescription needed in MN. She can buy it herself, over the counter, from vending machines, or even from planned parenthood.

    I commented on that, and you're "defending" it... by moving the goalpost to an other ballpark. lol
    So I am commenting on you moving the goalpost that far.

    I still like you to explain to me how you think a person can't be bright with 5 kids at age 39.
    Because that was your claim.

    If she hasn't figured out how human reproduction works after 4 decades and 5 kids-and that she does not need a pharmacist to get an OTC medication-and that there are numerous other sources for this OTC medication-she's the problem.

    I love how frothy they get. My favorite line so far... (which actually sounds like a veiled threat)

    "Fortunately, my religion is beating the **** out of Fundamentalist Pharmacists...

    Time to practice......

    You claimed a person can't be bright having 5 kids at 39. And you're just back peddling and distracting away from this when I asked you to explain your totally biased assumptions based on thin air. Kind of it.

    I said if it's true so I do care if it's true.... I know the lawsuit is true, but I made no claim to the facts....

    But don't claim you aren't defending him with the same set of unknowns..

    This is the typical liberal response. Most debates I have with liberals usually end in them screaming at me and threatening violence. Fortunately, I have little concern of most violent liberals!

    I know. Let's show leftists how intelligence works.

    Maybe if they have an example they can figure it out.

    McGregor, MN is 38 miles south of Grand Rapids.

    There is a Walmart in Grand Rapids.

    In the Walmart in Grand Rapids these options are currently in stock, over the counter, without a prescription Grand Rapids Supercenter, 5859 28th St Se, Grand Rapids, MI 4[...].png :

    There is no Rx needed for the morning after pill.

    SHE does not write prescriptions-so who wrote for it?

    False
    The prescription was Ella, it is not available over the counter and was prescribed by her doctor.

    I bet she also recieved a phone call letting her know her social security number is suspended and to call a number and provide some detail, starting with her social security number and maybe some banking detail to get it un suspended.

    I dunno how you right wingers know how intelligence works....
    the pharmacist can also claim to block you ANY kind of aid due to his religious believes claiming it's all gods will.

    if she has to ask a pharmacist to get it for her because it's behind the counter...... then it's an issue (prescription required or not)

    They would also have to know that moving it to OTC to specifically to avoid this type of event, though overall, it tends to be the younger who need it. Most of this was settled 5+ years ago.

    'Morning after' pill to hit Minnesota drugstore shelves
    With the limits on "morning-after" contraception lifted, questions about use shift to parents, teens and pharmacists.
    http://www.startribune.com/morning-after-pill-to-hit-minnesota-drugstore-shelves/211138431/

    The Board of Pharmacy DOES allow Minnesota pharmacists to refuse to fill a prescription because of their beliefs. If that happens, the pharmacist must refer the patient to someone who will fill it in a reasonable amount of time.

    You must have missed “the pharmacist, who also serves as a local pastor” in the quoted text and the article.

    It’s ok, I know agenda driven narrative can sometimes mess with reading comprehension
