You Can't Do All of Your Shopping At Wal-Mart

Apparently, Wal-Mart is being sued again. But this time, it is to attempt to force Wal-Mart to sell the morning-after pill.

Wal-Mart doesn't sell Playboy magazine either. Nor does it sell a number of other items.

Wal-Mart purposefully does not sell a number of items due to attempting to maintain a persona as a family-friendly store. Wal-Mart does sell contraceptives of other sorts, as well as some "R" rated movies in the video section, but for the most part, the chain has steered clear of controversial items.

Now, I personally believe that an individual or corporation has a right to decide what they sell, when they sell, and to whom they sell it. The market will decide if the decisions made by the company were right. For example, and I know this may not be politically correct, but if Lester Maddox Chicken wants to serve only white customers, then that is their right. They stand to suffer lost opportunity of revenue due to this decision, but if they are willing to suffer the consequences, so be it. You also have a right to allow whom you want in to your own home. Why should a place of business be different?

Likewise, businesses should be allowed to sell what they want. What if beef farmers sued Chick-Fil-A to force them to sell ground beef hamburgers? We would find this ridiculous, as we should. If one wants a hamburger, go to Burger King, Wendy's or McDonalds.

And so if you want to buy the morning-after pill, go to CVS, who, according to the article, is the largest pharmacy chain in the state of Massachusetts, where the lawsuit was filed.

This is no more than a pathetic attempt by Wal-Mart-hating liberals to take another shot at the chain. And why?

1. They are the number one retailer in the world, proving that free enterprise is the only workable economic system.
2. They are not unionized.

Look for many more attempts by liberals to use the force of the government, particularly the courts, to further their socialist agendas.
