Dear ******,
One year ago today, the Bush administration's FDA finally approved Plan B® - also known as emergency contraception - for over-the-counter sales to women age 18 and older. That fight lasted more than three years.
Now, we're making sure that pharmacies across the country actually have it in stock so women can access it.
The Kroger Co. is one of the nation's largest grocery and pharmacy retailers -
operating more than 1,921 stores like Ralphs, Dillons, Fred Meyer, and Smith's in 31 states across the country. What you may not know is that the Kroger Co. has published conflicting statements on its Plan B® stocking and refusal policy.YOU can help change that. We've launched a nationwide campaign to call on the Kroger Co. to adopt a policy to ensure that women can access Plan B® at all of its pharmacies. Click here to add your signature to our petition now.
Just a few months ago, a Kroger pharmacist in Georgia sent 42-year-old college professor and mother of two Carrie Baker away empty-handed when she tried to purchase Plan B®. NARAL Pro-Choice America believes that pharmacists should never prevent any woman from accessing safe, legal birth control like Plan B®.Do you agree? Then sign our petition today!
After our volunteer efforts showed that more than one in five local Kroger Co. pharmacies contacted don't stock Plan B®, we decided we had to step up our campaign.
On this important anniversary, please help ensure that women across the country can access Plan B® at any Kroger Co. pharmacy without harassment or delay.
