Yet at Harris Teeter stores, customers are required to pick up a card on the shelf and bring it to a pharmacist or a store manager. Plan B One Step is a time-sensitive medication to prevent unintended pregnancy when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, but the sooner it can be taken, the more effective it will be. Waiting for the pharmacy to open, or asking a store employee are unnecessary obstacles for someone just trying to access emergency contraception. Harris Teeter’s store policy is ridiculous and is hurting our communities. On Monday, November 20th at 10am, Reproaction is organizing a demonstration  to show Harris Teeter exactly where Plan B One Step belongs: on the shelf. We plan on taking bold action at Harris Teeter stores across the Mid-Atlantic with allies to let Harris Teeter know that we will no longer stand for this outrageous policy.   If Harris Teeter wants to continue to call itself the neighborhood pharmacy and grocery, they must do better for the women they serve. Sign the petition to tell Harris Teeter to make Plan B One Step readily available on the shelf. Help us put pressure on Twitter and Facebook with the hashtag #DontHidePlanB, and be sure to tag @HarrisTeeter. https://actionnetwork.org/forms/donthideplanb
