We strongly support Illinois Governor
Rod Blagojevich's emergency rule, which would require pharmacies to
fill prescriptions for women without delay. And we strongly oppose
the lawsuit filed by the American Center for Law and Justice.
This suit is yet another example of
anti-choice hard-liners trying to politicize a health issue at the
expense of women. Contraception is basic health care for women.
Ninety-five percent of women in the U.S. use contraception at some
point during their lifetimes, and they have the right to have their
prescriptions filled without delay. This lawsuit is dangerous and
jeopardizes women's health.
Gov. Blagojevich did the right thing to
protect Illinois women by issuing an emergency rule to ensure that
women receive their prescriptions without delay and we stand firmly
behind the governor. Planned Parenthood will continue to work to
provide equal access to medicine for all women.
