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.

Aunt Bee on the Andy Griffith Show was in her fifties at the time. Think about that.
Take a deep breath. You’ll be OK.
Do women just go around having sex like non stop 24/7?
The interesting thing is is a very large percentage of males I know have never had children. These are engineers, doctors, career military people, basically all walks of life. Most own their own homes, have never been unemployed, and are not substance abusers or have any other pathology. A very large percentage of these males have never been divorced, almost all are happily married for their first and only marriage.
On the other hand, I do not know a single woman who has not been divorced at least once, and I do not know a single woman who does not have at least one kid. That includes all the women I know who are married to the above individuals.
Yes, they are.
I have seen women, young ones under the age of twenty advising other ladies of the same age on how best to wrap a “Sugar Daddy” around their finger, then compare which one landed the most lucrative Sugar Daddy, then set out after the next one.
It’s worth noting that RCP projections shifted +2 seats to the Democrats and I’m willing to bet that all of the chatter about overturning Roe is why. Roe has been affirmed and is unlikely to be overturned due to the appointment of Kavanaugh (that still needs to be confirmed) and Republicans who celebrate something that hasn’t happened are only helping the Democrats.
You can’t legislate morality, but you can legislate immorality.
There is a total lack of understanding of states rights. Thanks Lincoln, you did good job in killing the republic.
The men cannot get pregnant. It is not totally the female’s responsibility, but there are not too many excuses.
P.S. I am female. I do not have much sympathy.
Is there an anti-slut pill??
Liberal chicks are REAL easy.
Most people look forward to grandchildren.
Recall also, though, Barky O’s comment that he wouldn’t want his daughter to be “punished with a baby”.
BTW, the "Plan B" being ingested like candy cannot be anything but detrimental to a woman's system long term. I guess women will find out in twenty years as the drug was fast tracked by Femnazis with little study by the FDA.
They’ll just sue the government for their health care then.
What are the chances of an abortion test case reaching a hearing and ruling by the Supremes? About equal to a major league pitcher throwing a perfect game.
All they need to do is stock up on little tiny aspirin tablets.
