    Blue in a Red state

    And should I be shocked that NONE of the pharmacies that get a thumb's up have locations in my town in a southern state? There is a KMart 30 miles away, but they're not going to be my "usual pharmacy" with gas still at $2 a gallon. We have a Price Chopper supermarket, but no pharmacy.

    GWB and supporters may not have gotten Roe overturned (yet), but in many rural areas lack of providers and supporting pharmacies make it ineffective. I suppose I'm lucky in that I'm married, have a decent job and haven't been harrassed about my BC choices. But I know I'm lucky and I know I have to be careful: should I want an abortion, I'll have to ask my husband for permission...thanks to a state law.
