Women Are Buying Up Plan B Because They're Terrified of the Future Supreme Court
finance yahoo.com ^ | July 12, 2018 | Julia Glum

Within hours of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy’s retirement announcement last month, Emily Hauser was standing at a drugstore counter asking a pharmacist for two packages of Plan B.

At age 53, she didn’t need the emergency contraception pills — in fact, she wasn’t sure who would, or when. But Hauser bought them anyway. A mother of two, she’s worried her teenagers won’t be able to access Plan B if Roe v. Wade, the decision that protects a woman’s right to abortion, gets overturned after Kennedy leaves the Supreme Court.

It’s a big fear for Hauser, though she feels a little better with $70 worth of morning-after pills sitting in her cabinet.

“I want to make sure I can provide some level of protection,” Hauser, a librarian and writer in the Chicago area, tells MONEY. “If either [kid] comes to me and says, ‘Oh, God, we made a mistake,’ I’ll say, ‘Here you go.'”

Emily is not alone. Across the country, Americans are stockpiling emergency contraception in light of Justice Kennedy’s retirement and President Donald Trump’s Monday nomination of Brett Kavanaugh. The nation’s highest court is on its way to having a conservative majority, making threats against Roe v. Wade seem more dire than ever. People are shelling out $10 to $50 per dose even if they’ll never use the drugs themselves — they just want to have them available in case reproductive rights come under attack. That way, if a daughter, a son, a neighbor, a friend or a stranger finds themselves worried after having unprotected sex, they still have a modicum of choice.

I wonder if they realize drugs have a "shelf life"?

Naw...they eat Tide Pods and put condoms up their nose.

The pitiful rising generation in America is populated with far too many young women with mothers like Emily Hauser. They have the deck stacked against them for a normal life.

The sheeple are frightened ONLY because the media is using their ignorance, as part of the Left’s agenda, to make them frightened.

‘I wonder if they realize drugs have a “shelf life”?’

I guess it’s too much effort to communicate the ‘facts of life’ to her offspring...just toss a pill at them, and go about the important stuff, like working on her tan...

And all those Plan B Abortions are Abortions that are never counted in the Abortion totals.

Walgreen’s, CVS and almost every pharmacy in the United States peddles the Abortion Pill and there are no protests, no boycotts, not even a Pro-Life Sidewalk ministry at your local drug store, yet women line up to buy Abortion Pills.

The current state of america (yes, the little “a” is intentional):

If you are the party “out of power” buy up what you think the party in power will ban. I find it interesting to see that Conservatives buy guns to protect and provide for their families. Liberals buy drugs to not have a family.

She lives in a blue state, IL. Does she really think IL would restrict abortion or does she not understand what overturning RvW means?

probably the latter

Too many ‘mothers’ encourage their daughters to get pregnant as soon as possible so they can get another welfare check coming in................

Emily is not alone …
Nobody said she was. However, her like-minded loons are not as commonplace as the liberal press is trying to imply.

These lib women who are panicking over Roe are all lesbians and men haters anyway. So why don’t they use plan A and just stop having sex with men?

Journalism is dead!

They cite one person - one! A 53 year old, no less.

Then they gratuitously share that “Across the country, Americans are stockpiling emergency contraception in light of Justice Kennedy’s retirement and President Donald Trump’s Monday nomination of Brett Kavanaugh”

Proof of the “Americans...stockpiling”? None, Nada. They are just assuming that since one 53 year old did it, it is happening far and wide.

Simply amazing.

“Trump should be killed for trying to save life and our future.”

That’s horrible!

Why would you say that?
