On February 15, Katie Mcdonough wrote an article on the topic of birth control. There has always been a huge controversy on the subject of birth control. The White House goes back and forth on whether private companies should provide birth control to their women workers. However, the big problem that gets in the way are the Pharmacists. Therefore Senator Lautenberg and Republican Maloney have come up the "Access to Birth Control" (ABC) Act. This is the second time they law is trying to be made. ABC allows individual pharmacists to refuse to fill a prescription, but also ensure that all pharmacies will fill all prescriptions even if it has to be done by a different person. If this bill is passed it will help women get birth control in a faster manner. As Madonough said there should be no religious interference over this subject because it should be none of their business.

The reason Mcdonough wrote this article was to inform her readers about this new bill trying to be passed which would make the lives of women a lot easier. She provides a good paragraph on just the law itself, providing much detail and how it will work if passed. It seems that throughout the article she takes the side of birth control because in the end she agrees with a quote from the "women of Salt n' Pepper" saying that it is none of the pharmacists business if a woman wants to use birth control.
