Screaming about the "Morning after pill" is going to make you look like a nutcase who wants to ban things like condomsBut they do want to ban condoms, and every other type of birth control
And you're right, when the extremists denounce the morning-after pill and say that rape victims should have to give birth to the child of their rapist, they just hurt their own cause by driving away millions of potential supporters who think those postions are crazy

" going to make you look like a nutcase "
Dr. Freud taught us that "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar".
and so, also,
sometimes what "looks like a nutcase" is just a nutcase.

From my vantage point, making this available over the counter absent age requirements is as extreme as it gets.
High school girls can not take an aspirin without permission from the parents. Birth control pills must be precribed by a medical doctor.
But high dose birth control pills can be bought over the counter by anybody. The picture is all wrong. Lots of pin cushioning, flyback lines and vertical drift.

It is wrong to intentionally act to kill innocent human beings, no matter who their fathers are or what their parents did.
There is no incrementalism potential, here, if the protocols are able to prevent implantation of an embryo, they are abortifaceints, not contraceptives.
Where is the research that proves one or the other? I haven't found anything that's clear cut.

There is a big difference between the morning-after pill and abortions.
The morning-after pill prevents the fertilized egg from implanting, much like an IUD. It makes the uterus unfriendly to a fertilized egg, thus preventing pregnancy.
I have an IUD, and I think there is a big difference between this and abortions.
If you want to ban the morning-after pill, then you have to ban the IUD and I don't think that will ever happen.
Now, if you want to talk about whether or not the morning-after pill should be sold over the counter. I don't think it should. I think it will be misused, and it will probably cause women harm.
