Guns, ‘Morning After’ Pills, and Illegal Aliens

Gun Wal-Mart stopped selling guns in 40 Gulf Region stores after Hurricane Katrina because too many people were exercising their right to protect themselves from looting thugs.

Until last week, Wal-Mart was also not selling the “morning after” pill, probably for liability reasons. On February 14, Valentine’s Day, Wal-Mart was ordered to sell the pill because failing to do so violated state law. Pharmacies are required to sell “commonly prescribed medications.” Some smart-aleck lawyer obviously convinced the state that “emergency contraception” was a “commonly prescribed medication.” :?

I wonder if anyone threatened to sue Wal-Mart when it stopped selling guns? Unlike owning “morning after” pills, owning guns is a constitutional right. Moreover, Wal-Mart and any other business has a right to sell or not sell certain products. But the ever-present and expanding nanny-state government stuck its nose in Wal-Mart’s business and ordered it to sell a product. Unbelievable.

Then again, Wal-Mart hires illegal aliens, so maybe the government should shut down the whole corporation.

More on the abortion “morning after” pill:

Opponents of the medication say it is tantamount to an abortion and that its availability will encourage promiscuity.

Advocates of its availability point to studies indicating it could prevent 1.5 million unintended pregnancies and 800,000 abortions each year. (Source)

I’ve got this radical idea floating around in my head. Did you know that abstaining from sex prevents pregnancy and abortion 100 percent of the time? Waiting until marriage to copulate will increase an unborn baby’s chances of being “wanted” and diminish the “financial burden” excuse for killing him. And having two parents, an intact family, is better for children than one parent, generally speaking.

How retro and repressive (and unrealistic and judgmental)!
