Political Cortex: Brain Food for the Body Politic

Which means you can be denied medical care by any of these markets:

Fry's, Kroger, Ralph's, King Soopers, City Market, Dillons, Smith's, QFC Quality Food Centers, Baker's, Cala Foods, Bell Markets, Owen's, JayC Food Stores, Hillander, Pay Less Super Market, Gerbe's, Food4Less, Foods Company, Fred Meyer, Turkey Hill, KwikShop, Loaf'nJug, QuickStop, Tom Thumb

Tell Krogers, that you will no longer shop at a market that would deny you -- or anyone -- necessary health care:

MORE FUN WITH KROGERS:

tell them why you wouldn't invest in Krogers:

kroger.investors@kroger.com

OR CALL THEIR CEO:

Corporate Switchboard
(513) 762-4000
David B. Dillon, Chairman & CEO

You'll may hear back from a.hanner@kroger.com who will huff about Kroger's supposed "legal and moral obligation to respect the right of our employees to refrain from filling a prescription that violates their individual moral, ethical or religious beliefs." But notice that Kroger's doesn't feel that they have a legal and moral obligation to respect their customers' religious beliefs -- or health care.

And although that was not the experience of the Tucson rape victim, Krogers claims that "Any pharmacist who chooses not to fill a prescription for legitimate religious moral or ethical reasons MUST arrange for our patient to be served by passing the prescription to another pharmacist on duty or by calling in that prescription to another pharmacy."

No, that rape victim had spent three days frantically contacting every pharmacy in Tuscon -- most of which didn't carry emergency contraception. And closing in on the deadline for the effectiveness of emergency contraception, found it at Fry's -- only to be denied service by their pharmacist.

Since when does your local market have the right to deny you health care? It seems to me that Freedom of Religion, also includes the right to be free from having another's religion jeopardize my health and well-being.
