Turn Up the Heat on Target!

In spite of much pressure from Planned Parenthood and our activists, Target still does not support a policy to have valid prescriptions for birth control, including emergency contraception, filled in-store without discrimination or delay!

Bottom Line: Pharmacies must ensure that women get their prescriptions filled in-store, without discrimination or delay!

Tell Target, in your own words, why it must adopt a policy that guarantees women's pills are filled — now.

Sample Letter for Campaign

Subject: Target: National Headquarters of Target Corporation

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

I am appalled by Target's policy that allows pharmacists to send women to a different store to have their birth control prescriptions filled.

As a consumer, I expect your pharmacies to guarantee women the right to obtain their prescriptions -- in-store, without delay or personal judgment.

Sincerely,

Campaign Launched:
October 25, 2005
