BREAKING NEWS: Planned Parenthood Flouting Illinois Law for Fun and Profit

======================
I have called Planned Parenthood and the woman who answered the phone confirmed this event is taking place sponsored by their education department.
The problem is that EC in Illinois still requires a prescription. They COULD have a qualified person on hand to write those presecriptions but unless people are planning on scheduling their “accidents” on May 10th, it’s clear they are putting these drugs in circulation for future use and not relating to any current issues. This is in complete disregard of the law. The notice itself makes clear this as well.
In short, they are giving away this prescription drug for free without a prescription knowing full well it is going to be stockpiled. This is flagrantly illegal. The police have been notified.
