Why is a state government telling a private corporation not what it can sell, but what it must sell?
The state pharmacy board ordered Wal-Mart on Tuesday to stock emergency contraception pills at its stores in Massachusetts.

Massachusetts becomes second state to require the world's largest retailer to carry the morning-after pill.

A Wal-Mart spokesman said the company would comply with the directive by the Massachusetts Board of Pharmacy and is reviewing its nationwide policy on the drug.
Why? What's the difference between Massachusetts forcing Wal-Mart to sell it and Louisiana prohibiting Wal-Mart from selling it? That's just nutty, but one thing's for sure: I can't spell Massachusetts or Louisiana without a spellchecker.
