Walgreens has come under fire after customer claims that pharmacists were denying birth control prescriptions and refusing to sell condoms went viral on social media. Its policy states that pharmacists can deny prescriptions if they have a religious or moral objection. USA TODAY reporting found that CVS has a similar policy.

"We have policies in place to ensure no patient is ever denied access to medication prescribed by a physician based on a pharmacy staff member’s individual beliefs," CVS spokesperson Amy Thibault said in a statement. "Under federal law, we must reasonably accommodate a religious conviction, and in certain states a moral or ethical conviction, that may prevent a pharmacist or pharmacy technician from dispensing specific medications."

  1. يارب إليك بحق إسمك الأعضم أن ترزق صاحب اليد التي ستدعــمنـــي با متابعة ورزق لاينتهي وتوفيق لانهايه ♥️🕊️

  2. Despite the economic downturn,I’m so happy. I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $7,000 investment every 13 day’s

    1. ນີ້າທີ່ນີ້ລນີ人+𝟏𝟖𝟐𝟖𝟐𝟑𝟕𝟏𝟕𝟓𝟎 🇺🇸人າທີ່ນີ້ລນີ້👎
      👎.

    2. That her watsap 👆🏿👆🏿 Tell her I referred you,Trade with her and remember to share testimonies with others .

    3. @Richard Manson🇺🇸 Thanks for the recommendation , I just contacted her and she attends to me nicely☺️.

    4. Count me in because I’m placing my trades with Expert Angelia,This is the kind of information that we don’t get from most Youtubers I will get in touch with her right now.

  3. So now I guess we have to call before we go. It’s a shame that it’s going to mostly impact those in rural areas. But, they voted then in🤔

  4. Walgreens is already on my personal boycott list and I’ve never used CVS. Shell gas stations have been on my list since the 90s because of the Apartheid situation in South Africa. (Maybe I should take them off the list?)

  5. Even better solution: Vote with your wallet. If an employee at _any_ pharmacy refused to fill a prescription or sell a product based on “religious beliefs,” I would take my business elsewhere and that store would _never_ see me again. Simple.

  6. Mississippi and Arkansas? Seriously two of the poorest states in America certainly need more kids they can’t support.
    Pure ignorance…

    1. Fun fact : Mississippi has the lowest percentage of homeless people in the entire country because they go with a housing first policy that other states refuse to do.

  7. It’s pro abortion activists only two people who actually have religious reasons denying birth control.

    They been saying to do this on other sites
