Well, as long as it isn't addictive, it should be over the counter. That's the question right? Or is it the legality over selling the pill in any case? I'm all about woman's reproductive rights, and I was flloooored that this was made over the counter given the Christian rights seemingly control over everything. There doesn't even seem to be a lot of uproar like there is for other issues of this nature (the "a" word). Kinda interesting.

I read a report on it and it stated that it does not cause abortion, it prevents pregnancy.
If you take the first dose within 72 hours and the second dose exactly 12 hours after the first, then it causes the mucus blocking the fallopian tubes to thicken and will not allow the sperm to fertilize the egg.
If by chance you are already pregnant, it will do nothing for you.
Going by that, then I agree with it being sold over the counter. It is not an abortion pill as some people like to call it, it is a prevention pill.
I am not against a woman's right to choose although I myself would not have an abortion.

That hardly seems like a good idea because more teens and even adults would be having unprotected sex and swallowing these things like crazy.And I haven't seen any research but I doubt they've been proven safe with excessive repeated use.I think that more common uses of birth control would be a better idea unless your name goes into a database so that they can monitor and limit the amount that you buy.But if it is true I hope it PSSS off all of those pro lifers that think it's their business to tell everyone what they can do with their own bodies based on their own radical religious beliefs.And ya'll can be found in the slang dictionary so don't worry about any idiots.It was a good question that some (one)had no intelligent answer for.

I think it's bad because it gives society one more reason to be irresponsible with their sexuality. One of the ways you teach your kids not to do wrong things is by teaching them about negative consequences. If you take away the negative consequences, does that mean the action is no longer wrong? Giving people an easy-out is never good for society as a whole. But it's great for that person who needs yet another rescue from their own bad choices.

i think of it somewhat is totally undeniable and grotesque and can on no account pay $one hundred thirty five for such an unpleasant tank suitable that sounds like it particularly is a $5 thrift keep discover. The shorts are advantageous and that i might on no account placed on those shoes in a million years. save the shorts, yet try a roxy tank and reef turn flops. that would desire to be lovable and extra effective.

I believe that there Pros and cons to haveing the morning after pill avaliable over the contor
Pro: some girls wont get the pill bcuz they are imbarssed to get them cuz they dont want any one to know that they have had unprotected sex
Cons: I think that more young girls will think that you can have more unprotected sex with more people.....

I believe that the fetus is alive from the moment of conception. If you aren't ready to have a baby, you shouldn't be having sex. I know everyone doesn't think the same way, but that's my opinion. I just wish people would start taking responsibility for their actions.

this is much more cost effective for women when you consider the cost of healthcare these days. used to be you had to go to the doctor to get this prescribed. it is a convenient choice for a woman who wants to be responsible with her body and not bring a child into the world when she's not ready. it's so easy to get pregnant, i have comfort in knowing this is an option for us now!

i think its fantastic. however, i fear that people will become even more careless in regards to STDs because "hey i dont need to use a condom, she can just take the RU 4 86 tomorrow"

I think it's an okay thing so long as it's used wisely and that people do not begin having unsafe sex because they know it's out there...
