I know a lot of girls who don't want to take birth control regularly, it messes with their body. I'm not one of those girls, luckily, but if I was I wouldn't want to take the pill either.

So, if they have an accident, the morning after pill is great. It would be awesome if everyone was 100% responsible all the time, but that just isn't the case. Also, there are people who maybe have unexpected sexual encounters a few times a year or something. So, again, in case of accidents, this is ideal for them.

I really don't get what the judgment is about, honestly. Take birth control before, or after, so what's the diff? And the m.o.p. doesn't end pregnancy, it prevents the egg from being fertilized, just like regular b.c.p.'s.

So, if women aren't more responsible in preventing pregnancy before they have sex, which they aren't, no matter how much you want them to be - I'd rather they have this than an abortion or unwanted child. You can say all you want what people should do, but the bottom line is that they don't, and I think this is a real boon. Also, again, taking the m.o.p. is taking precautions before pregnancy - it prevents fertilization.

Also, I've taken it and haven't had any averse affects. But, everyone's body is different, which goes great for my argument of why some girls don't like to take the pill regularly.
Also, as an aside, I don't like to morally regulate sexuality. And I think taking the m.a.p. is being proactive. And let me tell you, getting a prescription within 72 hours can be a pain in the a**.
oops, I was writing "mop" instead of "map", which is kind of funny if you think about it.
