Why Ralphs?

Submitted by Scott Haley on Sat, 04/07/2007 - 1:13pm.

There must be a hundred stores around here that don't stock emergency contraception.

No, actually there aren't

Ralph's Thriftway Pharmacy is the only pharmacy around here that doesn't stock emergency contraception, with the exception of a pharmacy at a nursing home. There were a few other stores that didn't stock last summer, but those stores started stocking after complaints were filed with the Board of Pharmacy.

Boycott Continues

I hope that there are more demonstrations. I wanted to go to this one, but didn't end up there. Is there another one in the works?

In the Course of Events

Yes, Rob!

It would be great to see you picketing! We are going to resume picketing on weekday evenings during rush hour, about 4:30 to 6, about 2 or 3 times a week. I will post the schedule soon!
