Pro-Choice License Plate Art Contest
Attention All Pro-Choice Artists:
I am happy to report that work has started on obtaining a pro-choice license plate for this state. Florida has approximately 100 specialty plates, including one that has provided over a million dollars for anti-choice clinics.
The time has come to get our message out too! But we need your help…

Victory Against Wal-Mart!
National Organization for Women Press Release
On 3/3/05, Wal-Mart did the right thing and reversed its discriminatory policy against stocking the “morning-after pill!” Beginning on March 20th, Wal-Mart will start filling women’s prescriptions for the morning-after pill in pharmacies across the country.
While this decision is a major step forward for women’s health, Wal-Mart has made it clear that it will allow for a “pharmacist refusal policy” which will enable anti-choice pharmacists to refuse to fill a woman’s prescription based on their own moral, religious or political ideology.
The National Organization for Women Orlando Chapter opposes pharmacist refusal policies and will continue to advocate for over-the-counter emergency contraception as the drug is known to be very safe and requiring a prescription creates an undue burden on a woman trying to avoid an unwanted pregnancy.
