Not every woman has the choice (no pun intended) to go to another pharmacy! And, not even every woman takes birth control to prevent pregnancy - many teenage girls take birth control pills in order to regulate their periods and/or hormones [I'm a teenager, and I know quite a few girls who do that]. It is absolutely terrible to deny someone a prescription. The sad thing is that pro-CHOICE means having the OPTION to have an abortion - it does not mean you HAVE to get one if you don't want to raise the baby yourself. At the moment, the US is pro-choice in the sense that abortion is not illegal. If abstinence-only sex-education becomes the only form of sex-ed, we already know it will have no effect, especially since Sarah-Palin-the-pro-life-abstinence-only-advocate's teenager daughter managed to have sex and get pregnant too.
