In Eastern Washington, they actually have ‘Plan B’ vending machines in 5 different cities, operating and available 24/7. For $25, you can purchase a dose of it.
My God.
Assuming this is true, have there really been no side effects to women that required hospitalization from this?
It would seem that the opportunities for litigation would be unlimited.
Plan B is OTC in every state.......it must be taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex or contraceptive failure although it is most effective the sooner it is taken.
It contains Levonorgestrel, a progestin (also found in many oral contraceptives)......works by mainly blocking the release of an egg from the ovary and may also work by preventing fertilization of a released egg .
Plan B is not an abortion drug. Plan B, which is taken “the next morning” prevents conception. It creates an environment where the sperm cannot fertilize the egg. So, it’s not “abortion.”
In fact, as long as a pregnancy test comes back negative, Catholic hospitals will provide Plan B to “rape” patients.
It is important to be clear about the differences between these meds.
