I’m very confused. No clue what article you read but what was proposed is letting pharmacists write scripts for birth control pills. There is a provision in the bill that allows aprns and pa’s to preform suction abortions. APRN’s and PA’s are not pharmacists. They don’t work behind the counters at the pharmacy. It had nothing to do with my comment about how cvs and Walgreens understaffing their pharmacies. Nor did I say I was against abortion or against increasing access to birth control. I just said it would be better to increase women’s access and privacy to primary care doctors instead having the busy pharmacist write scripts because it would reduce chances of very rare but possible side effects.

Unfortunately removing the prescription requirements entirely would require federal action, it’s not within the powers of state governments. The most they can do under current regulation is to allow it to be prescribed by pharmacists (which 7 states currently allow) but it’s still an improvement over the current hurdles.
