Kroger is the latest company having to explain why Plan B was refused.

How many of these religious pharmacists are lurking out there? Do they really think they are saving the world or making it a better place by refusing medicine to people or forcing women to become pregnant? Why on earth didn't they go into a different business?

ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) -- Kroger Co. said Friday it was reiterating its drug policies to all of its pharmacists after a Georgia woman claimed she was denied the "morning after" pill at one of the company's stores.

The Cincinnati-based grocery chain said if its pharmacists object to fulfilling a request, the store must "make accommodations to have that prescription filled for our customer."

"We believe that medication is a private patient matter," said Meghan Glynn, a Kroger spokeswoman. "Our role as a pharmacy operator is to furnish medication in accordance with the doctor's prescription or as requested by a patient."

When will one of these women who become pregnant after being denied Plan B decide to sue the pharmacy for child support or to pay for the abortion?
