Who is randomly giving out Plan B pills to our daughters? It is one thing for someone to just give them out unsolicited, and it is quite another thing for our daughters to go out and get them on their own.

If they choose the second option, obviously we failed somewhere along the lines.

Just like our kids can currently buy (legally) all of the supplies and ingredients needed to make methamphetamine....just because it is legal does not mean they are going to do it.

They’re CRAZY and they are EVIL. They have for a long time infested the judiciary and legislatures at all levels and now they claim executive authority. Their power is growing by the minute and is confronted only by pitiful hand wringing and maddening calls for restraint. Unless the good people rise up quickly and with steely determination, mankind is doomed to an unstoppable slide into the abyss.

Plan B, approved by a supposedly conservative and supposedly pro-life R administration.

I thought it was approved by the FDA - with lots of holdovers from the Clinton administration?

It’s “scientific” to put the killing directly into the hands of the woman/girl.

You’ve contradicted yourself 10 times in this post. Do you even know what you’re saying here?

What bothers me is ‘no-prescription’ angle of this— Plan B contains a pretty big dose of hormones. Say you start using this stuff at 17— most teenagers aren’t exactly the most responsible creatures on the planet, so I’m assuming usage of Plan B would be elevated during the late teenage/young adult years, especially if you didn’t have to go to a doctor to get it. Add this on top of ‘normal’ hormonal birth control, and by the time you’re thirty or so, you’ve pumped a ridiculous amount of chemicals into your system. I’m no biologist, but that just doesn’t sound like a good thing.

If the person were the victim of a brutal beating (assault) would you deny medical care on the grounds that it would abet the crime?

if the aid were given in order to cover up the crime, yes, it would be abetting the crime. That’s the point.

Whether it’s an assault or a statutory rape, it should be reported to authorities, not covered up and forgotten about, sending the victim back to her abuser.

In many states, the age of consent is less than 18, right?

“age of consent” doesn’t mean what you think it means.
It’s applicable if both parties are minors.

in some states, the “victim” would have to be younger than 14.

Not sure I know years ago contraception was taught and leaflets were on school notice board for the various free clinics available.

I will ask around I know someone who has a 14 year old daughter I am sure she knows what is going on.
