Urge Wal-Mart to stock EC!
Wal-Mart operates 3,837 pharmacies in the United States, and until recently, refused to stock Emergency Contraception for undisclosed "business reasons." This could all change with a recent court victory requiring Wal-Mart to stock EC in all 44 of its Massachusetts pharmacies. As a result of the lawsuit and ruling, Wal-Mart has publicly stated that it may consider stocking EC in ALL of its U.S. stores.
TAKE ACTION: Call Wal-Mart at 479-273-4000
Tell Wal-Mart to stock and dispense EC at all of its stores, nationwide!
If there is a Wal-Mart in your community, make sure you give the receptionist your name and hometown. You can also use these talking points:
Women should never have to worry about whether their valid prescriptions will be filled at any Wal-Mart store.
Prevention is the key to avoiding unintended pregnancy, and access to contraception, including emergency contraception, is sound public health policy.
The sooner emergency contraception is administered, the better it works, making timely access critically important.

Just FYI, Plan B is available over the counter in Ontario, simply by asking the pharmacist. According to my local pharmacist, it costs about $40CDN.
