"I understood the point of her politicized, religion bashing editorial. But as with Upton Sinclair's The Jungle" in which a pitch for socialism was disguised as an attack on the meat packing industry, she missed her mark. Instead of effectively educating the readers on why the policies worked against people like her who might need this medication, she only succeeded in publicly making a total ass of herself."
I agree. In fact, you can log on to the Washington Post tomorrow and let her know just how loathsome she is, lol. You have to register and then log on to the "discussions".
Per the WP:
"Dana L. will be online Monday, June 5, at noon ET to discuss her Sunday Outlook article and the continuing political debate over the "morning-after" pill that has made Plan-B unavailable to American women."
Unavailable? Who are they kidding? More lies. Also, the "morning after pill" is only 80% effective, according to the following from the Mayo Clinic website, and some studies put it at as low as 75-70% effective. So even if she took it, she would still have a 20-30% chance of being pregnant.
From the Mayo Clinic website:
"The morning-after pill is designed to be taken within 72 hours of intercourse with a second dose taken 12 hours later. Side effects may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fatigue and headache. According to the Food and Drug Administration, the morning-after pill is 80 percent effective in preventing pregnancy after a single act of unprotected sex."
Ping, or is it bump, lol?
Thank you khnyny. The author could have done more IMO, and she could have shared information like you shared. She didn't, and it just makes me believe that her intent was political, not educational. And maybe you can answer a question for me. Does planned parenthood have doctors who will prescribe the medication she was wanting, and does Planned Parenthood have information on which pharmacies will fill those prescriptions? The reason I ask is that Planned Parenthood evidently has no hesitation to conceal evidence of statutory rape, so why would they be hesitant to steer patients to sources for the "morning after" pill?
