St. Paul Pioneer Press | 08/01/2006 | FDA rethinks 'morning-after pill' restrictions

Contraceptive advocates and doctors groups say easier access to Plan B could halve the nation's 3 million annual unintended pregnancies. Opponents say wider access to the pill could promote promiscuity.
How does Plan B promote "promiscuity" any more than condoms, IUDs, the pill, or any other means of birth control? There's a logical disconnect over in the anti-Plan B group. I'm not sure if it's raw stupidity or willful ignorance, but their brains aren't wired right. |

I presume they figure people will be thinking about having unprotected sex and simply decide they'll take a morning after pill where they might have previously decided not to have sex. How's this? Who gives a fuck! Its not the governments job to prevent promiscuity. These pills are less effective then condoms and using them as a sole means of birth control is a bad idea. If the fundies want to do something they should advocate a big ass label that says "less effective then a condom" on the box. |

Or a big label that says, "May prevent pregnancy, but won't do anything about herpes, HIV or the clap." heh... |
