Wal-Mart pharmacist laughs at woman who asks for Plan B
Here’s a lovely story.
Last month, Tashina Byrd and her boyfriend went to a Wal-Mart pharmacy to purchase Plan B after their condom broke. Not only did the pharmacist refuse to give them emergency contraception—he laughed in their faces.
"We have it on hand, but there's no one here who can dispense it,” he said.
NARAL Pro-Choice America is asking folks to send Wal-Mart President & CEO H. Lee Scott, Jr. a message urging him to “require Wal-Mart pharmacies to fulfill requests for Plan B without intimidation, humiliation, or delay.” Take action here.

How dreadful. It astounds me how one's personal prejudices can saturate the medical field's duty to provide accessible healthcare.

Why the person should laugh if someone as for it.
It is as per his desire what to use it or not to use it. The pharmacist should not refused it. It means he is against to human desire and wants. Each and every person have their right.
