DaddySatyr -> RE: Morning After birth control now available at 13 NYC Schools (9/26/2012 6:10:31 AM)

I was listening to some talk radio in the car, yesterday. There was a lady on the show - a Dr. King. I didn't catch her first name - and she had a laundry list of the possible after-affects of this medicine which included: high blood pressure, stroke, hemmoraging, and heart disease. Now, I am absolutely pro birth control but I can't quite get behind this idea for a couple of reasons... This is a prescription drug. The reasons (the afore-mentioned after-affects) are pretty obvious why it is. That's been determined by the FDA that this should be a controlled substance. As a controlled substance, it can be dispensed after a physician has examined a patient and determined that the medicine's advantages to that patient will out-weigh the bad side effects. There's no examination, here. Add to that the fact that what is going on is that a group of people are forcing their values onto the children of people with opposing values ... Well, how many would support forced bussing of children into parochial schools? That's what is going on, here. It's essentially the same thing. It's wrong on so many levels and for so many reasons that anyone that supports this idea should either be ashamed of themselves for not understanding one of the basic tenets of our legal system or they should be ashamed because of their hypocrisy. Either way, it's a huge shit sandwich and I refuse to bite. Peace and comfort, Michael
