MORNING AFTER PILLS

[LuciferLynn]

I would prefer it if they didn't have sex at all, of course! However, I'm not naieve. I understand teenagers and that some of them are going to have sex no matter what their parents or anyone says. Somehow, to me, it seems like this medicine is a little like shutting the gate after the horse has gotten out. Someone should have been smart enough to keep the gate closed to begin with. I think what it is, I'm afraid girls are taking advantage of it. Being on the pill or using a condom is a responsibility of being sexually active. However, as duchess pointed out, these women mostly come from homes where being sexually active and protecting yourself against pregnancy isn't a common practice. Having the pill readily available to women who havent been taught much, if any, responsibility, for ANYTHING, makes me think they're saying "no big, I can go to the nurse and get that pill and not worry." As I said, if I had a daughter, id want to know if she took the pill so I could discuss it with her and talk about different birth control methods. I don't think this pill is intended for regular birth control use and I wonder how many young women are using it for that. Its an issue of responsibility for me.
