Just Give Out the Goddamn Pill

"Fierce arguments have gone on inside and outside the Food and Drug Administration, which may decide as soon as this week whether drug stores can sell the emergency contraception known as Plan B without a prescription to women age 16 and older. The cons? Easy access to this kind of birth control might 'encourage women to have sex.' Oh, wouldn't that be terrible." . . .

1. All this hand-wringing over what MIGHT happen?

Hell, they knew what was going on with Vioxx and Celebrex and were in no particular hurry to "protect" us consumers.

Why the concern now?

2. What about guys?

If they're so hell-bent on stopping women from having sex, maybe they should lock up the guys.

3. That was my thought, too

Or at least put them all in chastity belts until they get married. That would stop them from getting hairy palms and going blind, too, poor things.

4. Well then they can't be so concerned about abortion

Either give out the f'in pill or stop trying to take away abortion. One or the other people. One or the other......

8. Haven't ya heard....

12. Oh dear lord

I'm going to be rounded up aren't I? I'm 30 and I haven't squeezed out a kid yet (Brad Pitt - I'm ready when you are).

Between this and Frist telling me I'm mentally ill, it's just a matter of time before they start rounding us up for "relocation camps".

Race ya to Canada!

5. Anymore than selling condoms over the counter...

...encourages people to have sex?

[Warpy]

7. They don't care if MEN have sex

as long as it isn't with each other. They just want to stop WOMEN from having sex, no matter who it's with.

Hypochristians sure are weird.

11. But by that reasoning...

...if men can have sex with whomever they want, but women can't who does that leave for the men?

Could it be...the fundies are actually encouraging homosexuality and masturbation?

[Kukesa]

6. So, if we don't get the pill, we won't have sex??? n/t

9. But we need four different drugs advertised on tv for men

in their 60's with limp members? Sheesh. :eyes:

10. Male Contraception

The best contraception device I ever saw was at Spencers. It was two pieces of wood. The instructions said place penis on first piece of wood, then slam the second piece down on penis. Guaranteed to prevent sexual arousal for hours. But given the men I've known in my life, you could do much worse to a guy and he'd still be in the mood!

Totally unrelated, but one time a guy I was dating was comforting me after my grandmom died. I was upset, crying - the whole 9 yards -- when suddenly I feel "you know what" poking me in the hip and I'm thinking "What the F**K???? Are you insane?"
