So now a very serious drug will be easier to get than cold medicine?

Yep, we should all depend on the government to protect us.

I imagine that sometime in the not too distant future our descendants will look back at the totality of the late 20th, and most of the 21st century and say to us, “Why did you do this?” And with that simple question we will be damned in history for all time as the people who allowed, either actively or with indifference, the wholesale slaughter of our own people.

It seems strange, but as a Gen X’er I sometimes can almost feel the loss of so many of my generation. It’s intuitive, not empirical. Nevertheless it is incumbent upon all of us to do what we can to stop this insanity. I do have hope though we seem to be winning over the Big Lie that has been promulgated through the decades.

OTC Plan B is just the latest in the frenzied attempts by the death cultists to spread their poison as far and as wide as they can. This desperate attempt is merely a sign of the death throes of their evil.

Best Regards

It won’t be the 13 year old girl buying it, but her adult abuser. This is just enabling the abuse to remain undiscovered.

It is hard to “abort” a blastocyst that has not yet implanted.

The problem with certain OTC cold medicines is that they are being bought in large quantities to use in the manufacture of crystal meth, a highly addictive illegal drug.

Do you know how stupid and irresponsible teenagers are? Do you really want 17-, 18-, and 19-year-old females running to the store for morning after pills every time they have sex? Just because they have been told they should use other forms of protection doesn’t mean they will. And how many of them will use these pills (you take two) responsibly or as directed? How many will tell their doctors when they just did it that one time and yet they end up pregnant anyway? And what of the hormone nuttiness that results from taking these pills?

Don’t forget that in some states drug stores are forbidden by law to sell tobacco products. Because they are not good for you.

And yet they want me to have to get a prescription from the Doctor for my over the counter (used to be anyway) allergy meds?

Good grief.

All in due time, right? Gotta go from warm to simmer to boil in small increments so the sheeple will stay catatonic.

Next on the list: Euthanasia tablets, or for the unwilling...in coffee-creamer form.

Let's all sing along:

"You're the crematory in my coffee..."

(Very old song, circa 1920s. I may need to upgrade my repertoire.)

I thought so....never mind.

Apparently this will replace the vitamins they are planning on taking off the shelves - Plan-B -by the box advertising - sounds like you can just take one a day and 'you're all set'.....and prescription for 16 and under? "We don't need no stinking Prescriptions"
Tremendous sigh

“What kind world are we living in?!?!?”

An utterly insane one. The rationale is that some people might use that OTC cough medicine for getting *high* and we must stop them at all costs.

Did you know the government pushes manufacturers to add ingredients purely to poison people trying to get high? Back in the day, cough syrup was pure DXM, a non-toxic drug that does wonders for coughs. A few people drank more to get high so now all cough syrup contains less DXM but also contains acetaminophen. You can’t get pure cough syrup without going to a doctor. It is a controlled substance so no unlimited refills. When used frequently or mixed with alcohol(found in cough syrup and many meds), acetaminophen destroys the liver.

Also, certain decorative plants and seeds are sprayed with poison for the same reason. I know a girl that is now sterile because she ate morning glory seeds as a teenager for their psychoactive effects. Normally, they are very non-toxic. What she didn’t know is that they started using mercury as a preservative to discourage getting high. That sure showed her!
