More moral decay!

So if a young girl gets raped, and is ashamed to tell her parents about it, and wants to "take care of it" without her parents knowing, you don't think she should have access to this pill?

most certainly not! first off, in the case of a rape, the police should be notified right off the bat. if we are gonna go down this route, despite the serious(and justified) moral objections, why even consider 18 the age of adulthood anymore? let teens screw whoever they want, but booze whenever they want, start driving at 12, and hell, they should be able to just sign out of school as well!

The reality is that teens are gonna do what they're gonna do, rules be damned. I don't see the harm in making the Plan B pill accessible to these girls.

i take a libertarian view on most things, but there has to be a limit. where that limit lies is always the cause of conflict. like i said, if this is allowed, then just scrap the whole concept of being an adult. people are always gonna do what they do, but people need to be held responsible for their actions. something like this, over time, will lead to more unsafe sex practices imo. i'm not advocating that teens shouldn't fool around, but this will only make them feel like if they screw up, they are covered. the idea that a teenage girl should be allowed to both hide, and end her pregnancy without her parants/gaurdians even being made aware is crazy to me.

It's not like you can use these pills every day of the week after unprotected sex. You can't use them more than twice a year safely. It's not a regular contraceptive. Not sure if there has to be an age barrier, since this is simply high dose of simple birth control pill that would force an untimely period in order to prevent pregnancy. If a girl is old enough to get her period, she can get pregnant, and she must know all her options in case of rape.

This is really good and fully support this. I understand why some may not like this because they see it as it's okay to have sex at a young age or the fact you might be ending a life (even though this would be the morning after).
