This article isn't about girls under the age of 18 having premarital sex.
This article is about the use of the Plan B pill. And guess what? In some states, marriage can happen under age 18 legally.
Excuse me, but you made a comment to someone earlier in the thread about young girls and this pill. Teenagers WERE mentioned in the article too. Read it again.
This article is about the use of the Plan B pill. And guess what? In some states, marriage can happen under age 18 legally.
But Marajade, you scolded a Freeper here in post #5 telling them that there was more important things to be worried about than this pill being sold black market to teenaged girls. You didn't mention any "married" teen-agers in that post did ya now?
Peace! Long time, no see.
Oh, Marajade...
Question, what would happen if you didn't take Plan B?
How many birth control methods are out there already?
How has condoms, sex education in schools helped the prevention of teen pregnancy?
How does this make it more likely that those who prey on underage girls would get away with it, by just buying it off the shelf.
How does Plan B prevent AIDS, HPV and other incurables?
What health benefits does it have versus thinking about the consequences BEFORE you have sex.
So taking it 'after' shows responsibility?
What are the odds, as in the past, that this will play even more into adultery, silence in instances of rape (who wants to tell that) and as I said older men having sex with young girls.
What does this tell men? That they absolutely have to have a condom... or not to worry about it?
Who are we to play God or interfere with his purpose of creation, which is a gift from him?
As when RU486 claimed the lives of teenagers and young women... and everyone ignored it, this will be tested on women over the counter.
BTW, Marriage is a lot better than sleeping around for no purpose... under 18 or not.
When I get back from church, we can have a indepth discussion "re: the article", bring your medical links and FDA testing info.
Meanwhile, here's some 'satire' to mull over:
