10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
It's not just anti-abortion. This means that they can find out whether or not a woman is not necessarily using chemical abortion drugs, but just prescription birth control. This is a step toward making birth control illegal too.
Name and boycott. Fuck that shit. They are bad for your health and medicine should do no harm
Most all of them.
From the article: "The chains are CVS, Walgreens, Cigna, Optum Rx, Walmart, Kroger, Rite Aid and Amazon. CVS, Kroger and Rite Aid, which have a total of about 11,000 locations nationwide, don’t require store staff to run the requests past company lawyers before complying.
Only Amazon notifies customers that it received a subpoena or warrant for their prescription data."
You know it’s bad when Amazon is the good guy in this situation.
It's the top 8 chains. I didn't even know there were that many and it's got to be most of the pharmacies in the country. You can't boycott practically a whole industry.
The only realistic solution is changing laws.
What about small mom/pop pharmacies? I know its a bit different in the US sometimes with pharms being "in network" but I don't see the surveillance apparatus being too crazy about allowing that to happen
If there was a boycott big enough to matter, those pharmacies wouldn't have anywhere near the capacity to handle all the new patients they'd need to serve.
This type of shit causes civil wars.
Fucking pieces of shit. What the fuck.
Another reason to go with a small independent pharmacist.
