View Full Version : Don't buy from Kroger, I guess.

One year ago this month, the Bush administration's FDA finally approved Plan B® - also known as emergency contraception - for over-the-counter sales to women age 18 and older.

But a few months ago, a Kroger Co. pharmacist in Georgia sent 42-year-old college professor and mother of two Carrie Baker away empty-handed when she tried to purchase Plan B®.

Make sure Kroger Co. pharmacies across the country actually stock and dispense safe, legal emergency contraception. (http://go.care2.com/e/sGAS/Ms6l/.3kE)

The Kroger Co. is one of the nation's largest grocery and pharmacy retailers - operating more than 1,921 stores - like Ralphs, Dillons, Fred Meyer, and Smith's - in 31 states across the country.

What you may not know is that the Kroger Co. has published conflicting statements on its Plan B® stocking and refusal policy.

NARAL Pro-Choice America volunteer efforts showed that more than one in five local Kroger Co. pharmacies contacted don't stock Plan B®. Call on the Kroger Co. to adopt a policy so women can access Plan B® at ALL of its pharmacies. (http://go.care2.com/e/sGAS/Ms6l/.3kE)

Thank you for standing up for women's rights today!

I don't know how I got on this list, but it sounds like Kroger is becoming Wal-Mart Jr.
