oh. well, you didn't clarify. the effects of the pill aren't pleasant? maybe so, but i guess that's the person's choice.

So if you're on the pill the accidents happen and rape excused don't fly.
I was wondering the same thing...why not just take the pill in the first place? But whatever.
This will not come without a fight -many groups are already looking to fight this.
Of course Planned Parenthood is also fighting - to get unlimited access. I gotta say - are they EVER happy. I'm sorry but as much as I believe in choice I don't think this should be readily available to minors.

BC pill or no BC pill, if i were raped, i would want to take the morning after pill anyway. BC pills can have bad effects on people - it is not a solution for everyone. condoms break, etc (and this is what i was talking about when i said "accidents happen." not, oops, i had unprotected sex!). either way, i don't care whether people take preventative measures or not - it's not my body. also, there is a difference between 100% and 99.9%.
EDIT: i should qualify my statement about not caring whether people take preventative measures or not. i think almost everyone should use some form of BC. people need to stop having babies in general. but i guess when it comes down to it, i don't care if people stop a pregnancy the night before or the morning after, just as long as it happens.
