NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) - In a major turnaround, Wal-Mart will begin stocking Plan B contraceptives -- commonly referred to as the "morning-after pill" -- at all of its pharmacies, the company said Friday.

"We expected more states to require us to sell emergency contraceptives in the months ahead," said Ron Chumiuk, vice president of Pharmacy for Wal-Mart, in a statement.

"Because of this, and the fact that this is an FDA-approved product, we feel it is difficult to justify being the country's only major pharmacy chain not selling it."

I recall there being three women (in New York, I think) who were suing Walmart over not offering Plan B.

Can I sue Burger King for not selling the Hardee's 2/3 LB Six-Dollar Burger?

Are these people insane?

Reporters who write about things like that are doing society a disservice. That isn't news, that's reporters making a partisan statement by attacking a private company for what it chooses to sell and not sell.
The desired end state for WalMart is hard whiskey next to the pop, porno on the magazine rack, and a walk-in abortion clinic between the McDonald's and the optometry lab.

Wouldn't THAT make America a better place!
