Rants …
Okay, today seems to be my rant day.
They’re fighting about whether the morning after pill should be made available without a prescription. Opponents say it will make young women rely on the morning after pill as a form of birth control and reduce the number of teens seeing a doctor for birth control.
Now, is it just me, or are those most fervently anti-abortion also fervently anti-pregnancy prevention? Get real: condoms break. And Stuff that Shouldn’t Happen happens anyway. This is a good OPTION after the dirty deed has been done.
Regarding the argument that it would reduce the number of teens going to a doctor for BC, well, that’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. Any doctor worth his salt wouldn’t send a teen away without a bagload of condoms–which can be bought at any drugstore once they’ve gotten over their initial embarassment. Are they going to try to make condoms available only with a prescription now? Wouldn’t surprise me.
