MODERATORS
You seem to have taken the wrong impression that I’m against the use of this medication. You also are under the false impression that this medication is 100% effective.
Just like contraceptives aren’t 100%, neither is this medication. Also the idea that people are panic buying these pills in case they get raped is a bit odd but not outside the realm of possibility. Not every persons opinion is an attack on a women’s right to choose.
Yeah, you were just "asking questions" right?
Don’t get so worked up on other peoples opinions. Shit doesn’t get fixed that way. I voted all blue this year and given the option I would vote to codify a women right to choose. With that said I do not support abortion but I understand there are situations it’s necessary and everything isn’t black and white.
If we educated our children about sex and taught them all the contraceptive options out there abortion rates would drop naturally.
What are you on about? Why should people who don't want kids be forced to forgo sex?
If someone anticipates birth control being outlawed, stockpiling it is a reasonable response.
I would recommend an IUD though.
I never said it was unreasonable I just think it’s odd. There plenty of contraceptive options out there. My wife and I have been using an IUD for the past 10 years with no issues. That coupled with a condom I feel like would be a better option. That fours the even cover the several other reason for this medication, obviously in situations of rape it’s very useful.
I’m not judging anyone by any means. Again I just find it odd.
