On February 1, three women in Massachusetts sued Wal-Mart and filed a complaint with the state because Wal-Mart refuses to sell legally-approved emergency contraceptive pills. In fact, Wal-Mart chooses not to sell this legal medication in every state except Illinois, where it is mandated by law.
How bad is Wal-Mart’s war on women? Recently, a Wal-Mart worker in Connecticut was fired for being pregnant, over two million female employees are suing Wal-Mart for gender discrimination, and now three Massachusetts women are suing Wal-Mart for being denied legal medicine.
It all adds up to a radical right-wing war on women. Help us tell Wal-Mart's CEO Lee Scott to stop Wal-Mart's “War on Women” and make these legally approved medications available to all women. Women have the right to make their own medical choices – Wal-Mart doesn’t have the right to make medical choices for women.
It’s time to fight to make Wal-Mart do the right thing!
Sign the pledge not to buy medicines from Wal-Mart pharmacies until Wal-Mart respects the rights of all women. Help change Wal-Mart today – millions of women all across America are counting on us.
