Plan B - Safe As Milk

Feds to allow pills to be sold over the counter to minors who accidentally conceive

I may be naive, but how does this kind of thing happen by accident?

 

 

[ToJesusMyHeart]

It doesn't have to be an accident to get the pill. Any reason will suffice. 

[ToJesusMyHeart]

Any reason, or no reason.

Breaking news last night - the Obama Administration will allow children of all ages access to the morning after pill over the counter.

Planned Parenthood's Cecile Richards boasts it's "a(sic) historic moment for women’s health and equity."

This is no surprise and a sad commentary on our society.

Presumably whoever transcribed the quote has decided that "an historical" is the only correct way of saying it.

Feds to allow pills to be sold over the counter to minors who accidentally conceive

I may be naive, but how does this kind of thing happen by accident?

 

Kids are young and dumb, they don't make good decisions all the time.  They might not use contraception and just hope for the best.  Or get caught up in the heat of the "romantic" moment and have sex even though they hadn't planned on it.  Or a girl "borrows" some birth control pills from her friend and it's not the right dosage.  Or she's on the pill but doesn't take it regularly.  Or a condom breaks. Or someone gets pressured into having sex, or thinks they can't get pregnant the first time they have sex, or can't get pregnant a certain number of days after their period (using a botched version of the "rhythm method" instead of the much more accurate and scientific fertility awareness methods the Church endorses).  

 

You'd think that people who are supposedly all about sexual autonomy and openness would encourage kids to have conversations with their parents about sex, not hide their sex lives from their parents, not hide their use of emergency contraception from their parents.  Do kids KNOW how absolutely brutal it is to use emergency contraception? Probably not, especially if they're trying to hide it from their parents. You expect severe cramping, lots of bleeding, among other things.  It's just despicable that certain lobbies think it's more important to send a screw you to parents who don't think their kids should be having sex than to make sure that kids are being safe and making good choices and getting the support they need when they screw up.

Plan b definitely tastes better than milk.

[Dr. Bombay]

And when a bunch of girls start dying from taking this, it will be the evil pharmaceutical company's fault and Planned Parenthood will skip merrily along their way, feigning outrage and profiting even more from death.  How convenient.

 

Life is so easy for the Godless....

Milk is delicious. Plan B must taste divine.

[ToJesusMyHeart]

Plan B must taste divine.

I'm sure Satan thinks so.  :unsure:

For now...

[ToJesusMyHeart]

Life is so easy for the Godless....

I was discussing this with my friend the other night.

 

The Godless might indeed have a (secularly-speaking) "easier" life now, but if they remain Godless as they are now...the next life, the one for eternity, won't be easy for them at all. YOEF, after all.

I can't help but think about the long term psychological effects this could have. For example, if a 13 year took a Plan B pill would she think about that later in life wondering about the child she may or may not have been pregnant with? Or what if she has a hard time conceiving later in life, would she think back to the pill she took and think that maybe it somehow caused her current situation; which of course would cause more guilt and heart ache.

If you offered cigarettes or alcohol to minor you would probably brought up on felony charges and  go to jail.

  Plan b pills don’t protect against SDS’s.  Not to mention the deceit of lying to your parents

 

But it is perfectly okay for a child to have and use an abortion pill

 

Crazy

Abortion expansion in New York State

While the bill’s proponents say it will simply ‘codify’ federal law, it is selective in its codification. Nowhere does it address the portions of federal laws that limit abortion, such as the ban on taxpayer funding, the ban on partial birth abortion or protections for unborn victims of violence.

 

• Why would abortion after 24 weeks ever be necessary to protect a woman’s health, when delivery or caesarian section are medically safer procedures at that stage?
• Why is the abortion rate in New York State so much higher than the rest of the country?
• Nowhere does it address the portions of federal laws that limit abortion, such as the ban on taxpayer funding, the ban on partial birth abortion or protections for unborn victims of violence.

In the Bronx, 60% of pregnancies end in abortion. :(

[CatholicsAreKewl]

I'm genuinely curious. Can someone provide a non-Catholic source that says plan b is abortificient? From everything I'm reading, it seems like this could be a misconception.
