“Or do you think a raped woman would just stroll over to Target?”
Get real. It’s a fact that not all raped women report the rape for various reasons including attitudes of those around them. They would and do seek what ever remedy they could access with relative anonymity.
And I wasn’t aware that Target had a pharmacy.
A woman who's been a victim of a serious crime of violence is afraid to go to the ER or the cops? If this is the case, she's living as a perpetual victim in a criminal milieu, and she's got a lot bigger problem than just possible pregnancy.
(Incidentally, pregnancy very rarely occurs from rape, for two reasons: (1) many rapes do not involve a completed act of vaginal intercourse, and (2) rape triggers intense fear and anger, both of which release adrenalin, and high blood adrenalin levels will block ovulation. So unless the woman happens to have ovulated 12-24 hours BEFORE the rape, pregnancy will not occur. CDC and Guttmacher surveys bear this out: only 1 - 2% of abortion-seeking women, for instance, even claim to have been raped. And even that's high, since these statistics are generated with no verification.)
Nevertheless, it is possible (though rare) for a rape pregnancy to occur. In any case, why would a traumatized woman desiring anonymity go to a Target and ask for Plan B? It' far more reasonable tothink she'd phone pharmacies until he finds one that carries it, ask them to bag it for her, and then come and pay for it with a minimum of hassle.
I dispute the idea that Plan B is primarily for rape. It's primarily for women that "buy into" impulsive sex, and the next morning are reacting to buyer's remorse.
Having followed this issue in the press for a couple of years ow, I've noticed that even Plan B "human interest" stories in the press focus, not on assault, but on procrastination.
And so Target MUST be compelled to assist in the wanton murder of unborn humans because of...this? What percentage of raped woman do you suppose do NOT report the rape and do NOT go to a hospital? 1%? 5%?* So, how many human lives must be snuffed out before they've even begun in order to protect this sliver of the population?
*Yes, feel free to include the rapes that PP covers up on a daily basis. You know, the rapes that occur when a 14 year-old girl gets impregnated by a 20 year-old "boyfriend".
