Edit: I am totally pro-choice- I just think that women should be more responsible in PREVENTING pregnancy.

Right - now I don't mean to imply that all women should take the pill in case they get raped - I hope it didn't come across that way.

I just heard thought that even kids under age 17 can't get this pill AT ALL...parents or not - that I do not agree with because of cases of incest and rape.

Another stitch in this whole thing is the MAP will be behind pharmacy counters - and pharmacists can refuse to sell it based on moral reasons - which is not cool in my opinion.

Anyway - I agree, I wish more women would be more proactive in preventing pregnancy - it's really pretty easy to NOT get pregnant.
