Maybe Your Face Was Funny
Posted by Frank J. at 05:20 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (24)

Trolls have signed me up for all sorts of weird stuff, so today I got an e-mail from NARAL Pro-Choice America (it used to be just called "NARAL" and that acronym actually stood for something... that was until they decided the word "abortion" was bad PR). Here's the beginning of the letter (which is as far as I read):

Dear Frank,

I wrote to you recently to share my story about my contraceptive emergency.

Basically, it went like this - my boyfriend and I headed to our local Wal-Mart in Springfield, Ohio, to purchase Plan BŪ after our condom broke. But rather than sell us contraception that they had in the store, the pharmacist laughed in my face!

So, I called NARAL Pro-Choice America and NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio!

It's like a tiny Wal-Mart. I like the toy section.
Here's a better idea: Call Walgreens. Now, I never had a pharmacist laugh in my face, but I had to get an anti-biotic while visiting my parents in Boise (don't ask) and had an unpleasant experience. I went to Wal-Mart where my parents get their meds, but the pharmacist gave me a hard time for not having my insurance card for prescriptions and said I'd have to wait like five hours until he'd make the two minute phone call to the insurance company. So I went to Walgreens. There's one on practically every intersection in America.

But no. NARAL doesn't want to do the easy thing. They want everyone to donate money and write letters instead of just going to the Walgreens which is probably just five yards away from them. Some people have too much time on their hands. That's why I've always been for forced labor camps.

That's an odd letter to recieve. I guess I don't understand her problem, though. I've had many people laugh in my face, from the DMV & law enforcement to girls & well, more girls.

But I never felt like I should call NARAL. I figure, "Hey, if they're already laughing at me, then it's probably way too late to have them contracepted OR aborted."

I couldn't even justify selling it as a post-post-post-post-post-partial-birth abortion.

Oh well, whaddaya gonna do?

#1 - Posted by: AlanABQ on March 1, 2007 06:20 PM

Every second wasted with an uncooperative pharmacist is a second that keeps NARAL from rejoicing over another dead baby. How dare you make fun of a delay to their ghoulish glee!

#2 - Posted by: Master Shake on March 1, 2007 06:28 PM

Wait. I'm allowed to shop at other stores besides walmart? Did they pass a law or something?

I don't think I've ever seen an actual Walmart employee, so they've never laughed at me though. I did ride the toy pony in the toy section one time though!

#3 - Posted by: lorien1973 on March 1, 2007 06:42 PM

try Lowes Hardware.

I used to get my pharmeceutical drugs from Wal-Mart as well, but then they refused to give me a biopsy last fall and it became clear somebody there doesn't know what they're doing.

Trust me, when I think of Plan B: Emergency Contraception--this is the way to go.

#4 - Posted by: ASD on March 1, 2007 06:43 PM

I'm calling BS on this one. Sounds too pat to be true.

And if the WalMart pharmacist DID laugh, he was laughing at her nose ring and philthy dreadlocks.

#5 - Posted by: IllTemperedCur on March 1, 2007 06:59 PM

I am not a pharmacist and I would still laugh at her face!

#6 - Posted by: Robert on March 1, 2007 07:29 PM

I'm sure that most of you share my disbelief that an NARAL member had sex with anything not powered by batteries.

#7 - Posted by: Silicon Valley Jim on March 1, 2007 07:43 PM

I'm sure the entire story wasn't relayed...like how the first contraceptive device probably tore on piercing device either in her's or his sexual organ. I'd probably laugh at that as well.
Wall-Mart? I don't go there often, becuase I don't like either trying to get help from a teen or 20-something with the IQ of a potato, nor do I like the feeling that I've entered a forgen country (name any but America)...I have enough of that at the local grocery store or auto parts store.
Somone ought to explain to these folks that the best method of contraception is just keeping your pants ON...but then again, liberalisim is all about doing what feeeeeeels good without dealing with the concequences.

#8 - Posted by: Wolfman Dan on March 1, 2007 08:43 PM

I do work in a pharmacy, and I've never seen anyone get treated with anything but respect... while they were in the store. Oh sure, we have lots of laughs at the expense of customers, but they'll never know. It's unprofessional for sure, but to do it in the customers face is just bad for business. Take the money and make your jokes when they're gone.

#9 - Posted by: Elliott on March 1, 2007 10:39 PM

I'm obviously missing the point here...so lemme get this straight, sweetheart:

You're having sex with someone who you DON'T want to have the child of, and Wal-mart is the biggest problem in this tale?

How would that make you feel, fellas? I know I'd be mortified if the first thing on my girlfriend's mind was "Oh, Hell no, I'm not having your kid! Kill it! Kill it!"

"Oh, Shit! The rubber broke! Quick, let's get to the abortion clinic NOW!(no relation) I don't want to have your spawn growing inside of me!"

This sounds like another candidate for state sponsored sterilization. Stamp this chick "too annoying and stoopid to breed", rip out her Fallopian tubes, and watch the species' collective IQ jump a couple of points.

She'll just try to use her next kid as a down-payment on a used car.

why dont you freaks read the article - its ridiculous that a woman and her partner cant get an over the counter medication. i appauld naral for their work!

So it's their word that he shook his head and laughed at them, he says he refuses to dispense the plan b contraceptive. I don't believe Ohio law requires pharmacy's to dispense it so it's really the pharmacists call. I'm just waiting for the lawsuit against Walmart for "pain and suffering." Right now there's likely a swarm of lawyers that want in on that.

#12 - Posted by: Elliott on March 2, 2007 01:38 AM

The whole idea behind the pro-choice movement is that other people shouldn't have their views of abortion forced on them by people who have different views.

If you're in favor of abortion, and somebody else is against it, tough--it's that guy's problem.

But if somebody else is against abortion, and doesn't want to have your view forced on him by becoming complicit in one...then that person's a freak and should be forced to abandon his view of abortion for yours.

Gotcha

I think we should go one step further. Let's require doctors to perform abortions whether they think it's moral or not. Some may object, but they're just freaks so we can disregard their opinions.


P.S.: I still find it pretty hard to believe the guy would stock a pill at his pharmacy just for the hell of it only to turn down customers. What's the point? Either sell it or don't stock it and just tell your customers you don't carry it (it's a lot simpler, doesn't hurt your profits in the way that stocking a pill that you never intend to sell does, and is a lot less of a hassle in the long run).

P.P.S.: They can't be the first person to ask for Plan B there. 1.) this would cease being funny by the time the 100th person asked you for one, 2.) it ought to be pretty easy to double check--has the pharmacy sold Plan B or not?

#13 - Posted by: on March 2, 2007 01:56 AM

Hey, brave one in Ohio, we have just a teensy problem with the fact that the "medication" kills a child.

Sorry if that makes us "freaks."

#14 - Posted by: Marie on March 2, 2007 02:19 AM

Anonymous passion... that's what makes me chuckle. I love it!

"I'm going to give you a piece of my mind, but not enough to be accountable for... jerks!"

Story of their lives.

OH, how I wish that pill was widespread in the 60's...

#15 - Posted by: AlanABQ on March 2, 2007 05:13 AM

Maybe what the pharmacist thought was so funny is that either of these two losers actually found someone willing to have sex with them.

Of course this is Wally World and they do have a reputation for hiring some "interesting folks."

The best contraceptive is no sex, the second best is allowing a teenager to babysit a two year old for a couple of days (with supervision - not interference) I guarantee 90% of said teenagers will declare, "I am never having a baby." Once you inform then that all contraceptive devices are fallible, Bob's you uncle, most will avoid the "Kilt Snake Olympics" especially the girls.

#16 - Posted by: seanmahair on March 2, 2007 07:53 AM

I think the pharmacist was probably assuming that a NARAL hag would usually have "safe sex" meaning with another NARAL hag...

Sorry that we don't accept the killing of babies as "ok" and that makes us "freaks"... Idiot!

#18 - Posted by: ussjimmycarter on March 2, 2007 09:21 AM

When did it become a Constitutional right for a woman not to have to drive an extra 5 minutes out of her way to procure a certain medication?

#19 - Posted by: Stephen on March 2, 2007 12:03 PM

Haven't you read the U.S. Constitution? It's in the penumbra of the shadow of the left-side future-ward face of a hypercube cast on the 21st Amendment. It's easy to see if you hold the Constitution in front of a lava lamp juuuuuust so.

#20 - Posted by: Master Shake on March 2, 2007 12:31 PM

Sounds like one of those generated spam mails. You know, the Mad Libs-esque Insert Random-Crap-That-MIGHT-Make-Some-Sense Here ones?

But because I am a nice person, I have a suggestion for our two Brave Sir Robins.

You don't want kids, and I certainly don't want you to have kids because stupid people really should not breed. So here's what you do:

Try the aspirin method. Take an aspirin pill and place it between your knees. Then lie flat on your back and STAY THAT WAY. Cheap, over-the-counter, and 100% effective!

#21 - Posted by: Basilisk on March 2, 2007 01:17 PM

The really funny thing, despite all of this, is that they don't have a leg to stand on. This "Plan B" crap isn't a life-saving medication that was denied by a doctor. It's an elective medication, filled by a pharmacist, working for a company that can make up its own damned mind about what to sell. So... Tough Titties to the baby-killing twit with the fragile ego.

I think I'll call a Wahmbulance for her. Idiots.

#22 - Posted by: DesertElephant on March 2, 2007 01:46 PM

They should have gone to a Lowe's or a Home Base because everybody knows Walgreen's doesn't sell Shop Vacs, which is what the little slut really wanted. I don't know what is worse, the predatory policies of Planned Parenthood and NARAL at getting women to have abortions, or this whole generation of women who have the sexual morality comparable to that of an unspayed dachshund.

#23 - Posted by: Tommy the Towelhead on March 3, 2007 12:42 AM

I think I see what the problem is. These two libtards wanted the pharmacy to "give them" the pills, as in for "free." If I were a pharmacist, I'd laugh, too. Even Planned Parenthood doesn't do abortions for free.
