PSA to anyone in FL experiencing a miscarriage:
@Publix is NOT a safe place for your misoprostol prescription if you elect for medical management of your miscarriage.

1/

They will delay your care and refuse to fill your prescription until they can “clarify” the indication for your prescription even when it clearly states the diagnosis is a “spontaneous abortion,” which, by definition, is a miscarriage.

2/

Apparently, pharmacists were directed by @Publix administration to clarify all prescriptions that have the term “abortion” in them even if it already specifies “spontaneous,” and they will read you the fucking FL statute over the phone.

3/

This is a gross misinterpretation of an already harmful law that is not even in effect yet and another example of how abortion restrictions will negatively impact ALL reproductive healthcare.

4/

@Publix at the very least, educate yourself: The terms “spontaneous,” “missed,” “incomplete,” and “inevitable” all refer to miscarriage, and management of any kind of #miscarriage does not fall under any state restrictions.

5/

Not to mention FL statute #SB300 that bans induced abortion at 6 weeks, is not even in effect yet.

6/

And FFS, what a waste of valuable time for the pharmacy staff, physician and office staff, and most importantly the patients.

@Publix you are harming patients by inappropriately delaying care in an often already traumatizing situation.
Do better.
