Boycott DMC Pharmacy
A Pharmacy that Doesn't Respect Your Choices Doesn't Deserve Your Business This month, DMC Pharmacy opens in the Sully Place Shopping Center off Route 50 in Chantilly. The pharmacy will refuse to stock birth control, emergency contraception or even condoms. Birth Control is Basic Healthcare for Women 98% of American women will use some form of contraception in their lifetimes. So why is DMC Pharmacy refusing to sell it? A Decision for Women, Not Pharmacists The decision of whether to get pregnant is one that should be made by a woman—not by other people who want to impose their beliefs on her. But a growing number of pharmacists are refusing to fill women’ legally prescribed birth control prescriptions—and now there is one in Virginia. Send a message that you won't support pharmacists who impose their own beliefs on women seeking access to contraception. Sign the pledge to boycott DMC Pharmacy in Chantilly. Additional Information about Access to Contraception in Virginia Improving access to birth control is at the forefront of our efforts to prevent unintended pregnancy and reduce the need for abortion. For the 98 percent of American women who use some form of contraception during their lives, birth control is basic, essential health care. More than 40 million women of reproductive age are sexually active and want to prevent unintended pregnancy. [Guttmacher Institute, Facts in Brief: Contraceptive Use (Feb. 2005)] Unfortunately, 40 years after the Supreme Court struck down a ban on birth control, the far right still tries to block women’s access to contraception. In fact, they are engaged in an intentional campaign to blur the lines between contraception and abortion in the minds of legislators and the public.
