22. Plan B

Dec 2011

Plan B or Morning After Pill should be available for anyone! This saves major regrets and unwanted children from entering this world. Not to mention if raped many do not tell and many young girls are raped by family members. Who are they supposed to go to then? They want to save money and the future of numerous girls who either were forced or made bad decisions or oops condom broke then make it available. I'm pretty sure many misunderstand the concept of this pill. This pill does not give you an abortion! This will only prevent your egg from being fertilized. This is the reason you must take it so soon with in the 72 hours. And the reason it does not always work. I now have a 5 month old little boy because I took the morning after pill about 36 hours after the event. Well my egg was already fertilized so it did nothing. found out 6 weeks later I was expecting.
To take away the right of women and their bodies and the options to protect themselves and have privacy about what goes on in their life then taking away limitations on this is a must!
And I'm sorry but if anyone of my cousins or nieces or friends children came to me in a situation needing this. I would have no problem going to get this pill for them!
