NEW YORK — Amazon is limiting how many emergency contraceptives consumers can buy, joining other retailers who put in place similar caps following the Supreme Court decision overruling Roe v. Wade.

Amazon’s limit, which temporarily caps purchase of the contraceptives at three units per week, went into effect on Monday, a spokesperson for the e-commerce giant confirmed to The Associated Press. The company did not share further details on what emergency contraceptive products were limited for purchase, but a listing showed the cap applied to Plan B, the popular “morning after” pill.

Does this mean that abortion was being used as a contraceptive?

From the article:

Emergency contraception is different from abortion pills used to end a pregnancy. Plan B, which can be obtained without a prescription, contains a concentrated dose of the same drug found in many regular birth control pills. If a woman takes Plan B within 72 hours of unprotected sex, she can lower the risk of pregnancy significantly.”

Much like the concept of yielding the right of way while driving apparently abstinence is a lost idea from a much better time in this country.

Wouldn’t it mean a lot more trouble, time and expenses than a pill?

Probably to keep anti-abortion groups from buying them all up so that they will be out of stock.

The baby murderers are now preppers. In a twisted way, I guess that is progress.

They apparently can. But the blame will fall on men who don’t want to use condoms, and these dumb women just give in, for what reason, I dunno. Maybe because their “men” are “bad boys.”

Given skyrocketing STD rates, you really need to ask?
