'Plan B' is getting me frustrated

There is a grocery store in Olympia, WA that has decided not to carry the 'Plan B' pill in their pharmacy. Apparently this has caught the attention of some pro-abortion advocates and they decided to picket and boycott the store. I know it's their right to picket and boycott the store and I'm fine with that. What bothers me about this situation is that it is a family store and the reason they're not carrying the pill is a religious/ethical reason, but these protesters feel that this store is impinging on their rights and thus they must do something to the store. Never mind that there are dozens of pharmacies in the Olympia area that would fill the prescription, this one store must pay for their choice. It's like the pro-abortion people are paranoid that any time someone makes an ethical decision not in their favor all of their rights are going to be stripped away.
“I think ultimately, this is a bigger issue than one store refusing to stock contraception. I think if we don’t stand up to this decision, we’re going to see a slow erosion in women’s reproductive rights, one pharmacy at a time,” said protester Rachel Smith.
I personally don't think that abortion is ever going to be totally illegal in this county - probably severely restricted, but never illegal, which is what contributes so much to my frustration. The pro-abortion people are getting all in a twist over losing something I don't think they're ever going to totally lose. I'm sorry that I'm not being very eloquent with this post, but I'm just frustrated - why can't they just go to another store and leave this store alone? It make me want to curse! I just wish there was someway to support the store for making the tough decision and not caving to the pressure - at least yet. Hopefully the conservative churches in the area catch on to the story and start to shop more at this store in a show of support.
