In my state you can walk right into a pharmacy and get the morning after pill, no questions asked. I did it as a test. No prescription, just ask for it.
Hootie is right. |
First of all, if the proposed legislation goes through, that pharmacist who sold you emergency contraception would no longer be obligated to sell it to you or a desperate woman. Let's be clear.
How do we get to the point where we need "Plan B"? I got to that point once while having recreational sex with a very hot (and apparently very fertile) guy who is a lousy father to his three children. Quite simply, our condom broke. I remember thinking how nice it was that I could so realistically feel him ejaculating in me despite the condom. The I remember my horror as he withdrew and a good portion of his semen-covered glans was visible through the gaping tear in the prophylactic. Yeah.
And let me tell you it took me over 30 hours to get emergency contraception. I had to wait until a clinic was open to take my frantic phone call, had to call around until I found a clinic with room to squeeze me in for a visit, and then I actually had to answer scores of questions, and submit to a pregnancy test (because my periods are irregular and I'd been sexually active without menstruating for over 45 days). THEN I was finally given a prescription, and had to wait three hours for the pharmacy to fill it.
It's nice that wherever you are, anyone can just go to a drug store and buy emergency contraception. That is NOT the case everywhere, and I think someone has to be pretty strange to be unaware of that fact, or to think that this proposed legislation would improve the odds of things like unquestioned access to "Plan B" becoming universal.
(And by strange, I mean stupid.)
