Now fetus fetishists are planning to picket chain drugstores carrying abortion pills. I do not think this will turn out the way they think it will! Most urban dwellers already run a gauntlet of addicts and aggressive homeless people just to get in the door of their local pharmacy, this will be just one more obstacle. Plus, since people in cities have little patience with anyone who is going to make their day harder, I predict there will be actual fights. Via Politico:

Anti-abortion advocates are organizing pickets outside CVS and Walgreens in early February in at least eight cities, including Washington, D.C., in response to the companies’ plans to take advantage of the Food and Drug Administration’s decision last week allowing retail pharmacies to stock and dispense abortion pills in states where they’re legal.

The demonstrations aim to bring the same chants, signs and tense confrontations to drug store parking lots that groups have long used to try to deter visits to abortion clinics. The protests will coincide with a call-in campaign and planned national boycott of the chains.

“We want people to be uncomfortable going into a CVS that has a demonstration going on and to consider going to a different pharmacy,” said Caroline Smith, a leader of the group Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising. “We also want to put enough pressure on the companies to retract this decision and not get certified to sell abortion pills.”
