pameladean: Ten thousand cheers for HCMC:

Today I went, as I do twice a month, downtown to the Hennepin County Medical Center Out-Patient Pharmacy to pick up a subset of my antihypertensive medication. I rushed right past a new sign decorated with information brochures, and then stopped dead as my brain registered the words 'Emergency Contraception.' With a feeling of trepidation, I backed up and read the sign more thoroughly. 'Emergency Contraception. Available at HCMC, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Ask your doctor or come to the pharmacy. No prescription required.' Then there were a few paragraphs defining emergency contraception and discussing how it worked.

Bless their hearts. And take that, you antediluvian anti-scientific misogynistic theocratic authoritarian creeps. Put that in your over-controlling hypocritical lying pipe and smoke it until you choke.

hurray for hcmc, and hurray for pamela for letting us know. i don't go to hcmc for any of my medical care, so i would not have known. but now i do, and now you do.

(and knowing is half the... oh, never mind. ;)
