Yah! Its not like pharmacists have to work in the pharmacy or anything thing! They should be prescribing medication. They always know whats what.

More and more pharmacies have clinics manned by Registered Nurses who can write prescriptions. I can't foresee them doing any kind of pelvic exams though.
Shouldn't I decide if I want a pelvic exam?
What's wrong with local clinics and a blood test? It doesn't take a physician to draw blood and send it to a lab.

Nothing wrong with local clinics.
I guess that's another difference between our countries health care systems.
We have doctors, nurses, and exam rooms at our local clinics, as well as at the docs office.

America does have clinics. The problem is where you live.
If you live in a very fundamental religious state, they organize and find ways to shut down women's clinics.
It's unfortunate that fundamental religious women don't support women.
Women's clinics need to be Federal.

It's been a long for me, but when I used to have to go to get a renewal prescriptions for my BC pills, the doctors always required me to have a pelvic exam, a pap smear and a mimi mamo. But I sure wouldn't volunteer for such exams if I didn't have to in order to get my script.

So you blame the women whom believe differently than you because of their religion, . . .

The women’s health group contends that the candidates’ support for making birth-control pills available without prescription is a “political ploy” that would actually cost women hundreds of dollars. Prescription birth control under the new federal health law is considered a preventative health service, meaning that insurers generally must pay for it without charging an out-of-pocket cost.
Planned Parenthood Votes said that since insurers generally don’t pay for OTC pills, the effect of making birth control available without prescription would be to shift the roughly $600 annual cost to women instead of insurers.
