Within hours of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy’s retirement announcement last month, Emily Hauser was standing at a drugstore counter asking a pharmacist for two packages of Plan B.
At age 53, she didn’t need the emergency contraception pills — in fact, she wasn’t sure who would, or when. But Hauser bought them anyway. A mother of two, she’s worried her teenagers won’t be able to access Plan B if Roe v. Wade, the decision that protects a woman’s right to abortion, gets overturned after Kennedy leaves the Supreme Court.
It’s a big fear for Hauser, though she feels a little better with $70 worth of morning-after pills sitting in her cabinet.
“I want to make sure I can provide some level of protection,” Hauser, a librarian and writer in the Chicago area, tells MONEY. “If either [kid] comes to me and says, ‘Oh, God, we made a mistake,’ I’ll say, ‘Here you go.'”
Emily is not alone. Across the country, Americans are stockpiling emergency contraception in light of Justice Kennedy’s retirement and President Donald Trump’s Monday nomination of Brett Kavanaugh. The nation’s highest court is on its way to having a conservative majority, making threats against Roe v. Wade seem more dire than ever. People are shelling out $10 to $50 per dose even if they’ll never use the drugs themselves — they just want to have them available in case reproductive rights come under attack. That way, if a daughter, a son, a neighbor, a friend or a stranger finds themselves worried after having unprotected sex, they still have a modicum of choice.

So, she wants to kill her grand kids.
Awfully forward-thinking for people using plan B...?
It really gets me how these issues are discussed.
It’s as if there is an expectation that unmarried girls and women will have sex, as if it’s a given. And as if it’s a given, that being sexually active, that they will just be irresponsible and not use birth control.
They make it sound, as if unplanned pregnancy just happens to females, spread around similar to how communicable diseases are spread.
Alas, until we have the populace embrace the fact an embryo is a child and if you abort it you are committing murder? Yes preaching to the choir here, but how do you change the narrative, hey you stupid bitch, use birth control, or make the man wear a condom otherwise you will hang from the neck for murder, hey I think I solved the problem.
“My answer, calloused though it may be, is because doing is is their most valuable bargaining chip and most effective tool of manipulation in any given relationship, and they don’t want to lose that.”
Well then, the solution is simple.
American males should refuse to have sex with women and it would not only take that bargaining chip away from women, but it would end Abortion.
I’d bet “Emily” is a composite of all the “I’m with Her!” woman out there .. not a real, identifiable, individual woman.
How about they keep their knees together.
Yeah, these should have a warning label. Something like "use within six months of purchase or your baby might live."
JUST. DO. NOT. GET. PREGNANT.
How stupid are these females? Embarrassing.
I want my daughters to be able to have sex with many men, and be able to pretend there are never any consequences!
I disagree with your assertion that attacking the federal usurpation of authority from the states is stupid.
In fact, I will furthur stipulate that picking this forum to advance that notion is really, really stupid.
Fake news.
At age 53, she needs Premarin, not abortive birth control tablets.
Yeah, they should.
I have wondered if that particular dynamic between men and women did not exist, would there even be a bargaining table?
My guess is no.
Abortion on demand has been the greatest con-job that promiscuous men have ever pulled on women.
And I in turn agree that every usurpation of authority by the feds should be vigorously resisted.
Roe is a land mine. I actually believe the RINOs set us all up on that too, or have in the past.
Huge emotional point of division in the US.
Who said Trump isn’t helping the economy?
(I shouldn’t laugh—I have been stocking up on cigars out of concern the FDA was going to make them very expensive or illegal...)
Alternate headline:
<>
Women terrified of personal responsibility!
“How stupid are these females?”
Around half as stupid as the men they have sex with.
LMAO.
