Court ruling on Plan B is heartily applauded

I have shopped at Ralph’s Thriftway for over 39 years and will continue to do so, But I heartily agree with the court decisions regarding the Plan B pill.

I dare say Ralph’s sells such medications as Cialis and Viagra, beer, wine and hard liquors. Any of these could well be the reasons Plan B is needed. Rapes, within or without marriage, might well be the reason the pill is needed. Which man would want to carry a child conceived in rape? I cannot feel sorry that the court ruled against Ralph’s and others wanting to be exempt from the law and heartily applaud the decision.

Incidentally, I am well past child bearing age, but do feel strongly about this.
