The original post is on Facebook so I'm not going to post it here, but I'll paraphrase.
A woman with a history of miscarriages finds out she's pregnant and goes in for er first ultrasound. Something's not right so they bring her in every week, until at about 10 weeks they tell her that her baby probably died at 5-6 weeks, but her body didn't try to expel anything. The doctor prescribes her an abortion pill to help her body expel everything, and (from what I can understand) it's auto-sent to her pharmacy at a Walmart nearby that she used to work at.
This woman then gets a call from her doctor, saying that the pharmacy won't fill her prescription and won't tell the doctor why. They dig a little bit, get the runaround, then she tries to go to another pharmacy, where the same thing happens. Things get confusing here, but I think she goes over to the original pharmacy and talks to the Pharmacy Manager, who she used to work with, and they say that they weren't comfortable prescribing an abortion pill to her. She explains her situation and rants at them about how they shouldn't be questioning why she needs something like this and how she shouldn't have to explain something so sensitive and personal. She didn't say if she ever got her pills or not, but this story just made me
Not to mention, this was perfectly legal.
My first thought was, if she had actually miscarried a month before, if she didn't get her pills it could make her seriously sick.
My second thought was, this is not the way I wanted to start my morning.
