FDA to college: Carry on with morning-after pill vending machines

Controversy has surrounded Shippensburg University, in Pennsylvania, ever since it decided to provide Plan B, commonly referred to as the “morning-after pill,” in a college campus vending machine along with condoms and other forms of birth control.

The Food and Drug Administration said last week that it had looked into the validity of the machine and will take no action against it.

Scissors and a vacuum hose will be dispensed from the Mark II version.

[Slings and Arrows]

You've come a long way, baby.

[petitfour]

Talk about a war against women. How evil to promote high dose hormones to stupid, ignorant young women.

[fso301]

After a night of romping in the sack, any girl being treated by her boyfrend to breakfast in bed can expect to have her food laced with the stuff.

I thought this was a prescription medication?....you mean I can't get a stinking sudafed for my stuffed up nose without showing my drivers license, having them scan it, and signing my name, but we can let ANYBODY of any age or any sex I might add go buy potentially dangerous meds?....

I can see it now....men buying these pills and slipping them to their pregnant gf's.....

this is indeed a world run by satan and his willing minions...

[hulagirl]

It is a strong, dangerous drug (particularly to the zygote), but dangerous, as well, to the woman taking it. Let it happen and let the lawsuits begin!

What next? Vending machines dispensing "Refreshing Crack''?

No, Plan B is OTC, a decision which I’m sure is not political in the least.

[Slings and Arrows]

I was thinking suicide pills. Mustn’t burden 0bamaCare, you know.

[zerosix]

My thoughts exactly.

This country has truly slid into Sodom and Gomorrah.

This stupid country will allow pot smoking without filters but attempt to put cigarette smoking right up there with crimes of the century!

[JCBreckenridge]

You missed out on the amazing double entendre.

[MacMattico]

We had condoms in the vending machines in the early 90’s when I was in college. I worked at the front desk of our dorm and would have to make change for those getting something from the vending machine. Funny thing is anyone I saw buying condoms from the vending machine I never thought had any use for them! Water balloons?

Not so funny thing is some nut case girl is going to buy a ton of these pills and OD. Just wait, it will happen.

[Slings and Arrows]

Wouldn’t surprise me. Or, as previously pointed out, a guy will slip it into the food whichever young lady he enjoyed the night before.

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

If they had high-fructose soda pop in those vending machines, you can bet the FDA would be all over it.

[DBeers]

No, Plan B is OTC, a decision which I’m sure is not political in the least.

Exactly. The game was rigged from the very beginning for this politically correct drug that furthers the leftist agenda.

Why let a pesky doctors prescription and all the hassle associated with it possibly get between the drug user and the leftist pusher man. Vending machines today elementary and high school clinics tomorrow.

[Slings and Arrows]

Precisely. And if a few women are sicked or killed by a powerful medication, well, you know what Comrade Stalin said about eggs and omelets.
