So for part of my Spring Break, I decided to join Planned Parenthood's "visibility Event" aka peaceful protest in front of Osco Drug on State and Adams. Apparently, a pharmacist refused to fill a prescription for the morning after pill.
Here is the skinny: A pharmacist has the right to refuse filling a prescription. We have the right to file a complaint with the city, I believe. However, Osco or the pharmacy has to have a pharmacist on hand that is willing to fill the prescription OR give the customer info on WHERE to get the prescription filled.
11:30AM - We met at 18 S Michigan with the organizers
11:35AM - Walked over to Adams and State
11:35AM - 12:05PM - Lined up by the store with signs, chanted, and handed out fliers. Media came out took pictures and interviewed participants and Planned Parenthood Action Committee peeps.
