Unprotected, underage sex? Don’t worry. There’s always Plan B.

Abortion for all, no matter your age:

The “morning-after pill” will be available without a prescription to women 17 and older, the Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday. The minimum age has been 18.

On March 23, a federal court ordered that Plan B, an emergency contraception pill, be made available over the counter to those 17 and up, the agency said in a statement on its Web site. The agency will not appeal that order, the statement said.

In the order, U.S. District Judge Edward Korman also asked the agency to consider whether the pill should be available to women of all ages without a prescription, saying that such a determination is best left to the expertise of the FDA rather than a federal district judge.

I had written about this before. One of the problems with this story being that Plan B isn’t really birth control. It’s abortion before you know you are aborting. You take Plan B in order to abort a pregnancy within the first 72 hours of that pregnancy. It’s just a tad different than actually preventing a pregnancy. It gets tricky, but there is a difference. It’s like guilt-free abortion because you don’t really know if you ever had an abortion. You might not have been pregnant at all.

The judge in the story also feels that the FDA should consider whether the pill should be available over the counter to those under eighteen? The beauty of a prescription being required is that it might actually involve some parental guidance. That is why this judge is against it. They want to detach children from their parents social mores.

The drug companies are also involved. They want to make money, and they’ll be making a lot more of it if all of this would become over the counter. The thesis I am working on will explore the financial mega-industry that is abortion. This isn’t about a woman’s choice, or a woman’s right to privacy. First of all, as arbitrary as it may be, before 18 you are not a woman. You’re a child. This is about the companies that produce these drugs opening themselves up to a wider market. It’s disgusting.

Anyway, parents just lost some more of their rights. The government, primarily through the courts, have told parents time and again that they have no business in their childrens’ lives. What’s next? Is the school nurse going to start performing abortions and only call parents in to pick up their child because she feels sick? I wouldn’t be surprised.
