Harm Or Mere Inconvenience? Denying Women Emergency Contraception, Carolyn Mcleod
Harm Or Mere Inconvenience? Denying Women Emergency Contraception, Carolyn Mcleod
Philosophy Publications
This paper addresses the likely impact on women of being denied emergency contraception (EC) by pharmacists who conscientiously refuse to provide it. A common view—defended by Elizabeth Fenton and Loren Lomasky, among others—is that these refusals inconvenience rather than harm women so long as the women can easily get EC somewhere else nearby. I argue from a feminist perspective that the refusals harm women even when they can easily get EC somewhere else nearby.
