political ethics question

Today Plan B, the emergency contraception medicine, was approved by the FDA for sale over the counter. Yay! (Only to women 18 and over. Boo!)

I have been boycotting Walgreens and Target because they were allowing pharmacists to refuse to fill prescriptions for Plan B. (See http://www.saveroe.com/fillmypillsnow/scored).

Boycotting Walgreens is actually a bit of a sacrifice because it's my within-walking-distance open-24-hours store and it's right next to Trader Joe's where I frequently shop...without Walgreens, if I want a drugstore thing I have to plan a special trip.

So I'm considering not boycotting Walgreens any more, at least until they do something else I don't approve of.

On the other hand, they didn't actually change their policy, the problem got resolved another way (and the women under 18 might still have problems getting Plan B from Walgreens).

What would you do under the circumstances, and why?

Claude Cahun & Marcel Moore

Via body_impolitic, a slightly annoying article about an interesting artistic couple.

"Two eccentric step-sisters who fought their own campaign against the Nazis in Jersey left a legacy of extraordinary pictures."

I'm hoping Judi Dench will co-star in a movie about them.

I used to play with astrology and Pluto was the planet for Scorpios, which I am. Although I don't really play with astrology any more, I am finding myself highly irritated that they stole MY planet!
