One day the bill will come due. They always do. How will they pay? They will be able to rationalize away the past or rewrite it, but they won't undo it nor the damage done. Thread by jacknhoo. Thanks, wagglebee.

Nursing a nagging headache and a sore throat, Gemma Pickwell queued at the pharmacy counter of her local Boots store on a chilly Saturday morning, her arms laden with cold remedies.

She felt her cheeks flush as she then sheepishly muttered to the pharmacist that she also needed the morning-after pill.

But Gemma's blushes were not simply prompted by the embarrassment of having to ask for such an emergency measure, or the fact that the night before she'd had drunken, unprotected sex with her boyfriend, but also because, shockingly, it was her 60th request for the drug in less than five years.

The women who use the morning after pill as everyday contraception

I find this incredible that it is inferring that she has had it 60 times if the same chemist they are irresponsible IMHO in continuing to sell it to her.

If she has got it through her doctors then he is irresponsible in writing the prescription.

The other thing is I am not sure but I think in both cases you would have to pay full rate for the pill whereas the normal contraceptive pill is actually prescribed at no cost it is the only drug I am aware that you do not have to pay our normal NHS standard charge for which is around 13.00 - 14.00 dollars per item for a 28 day supply.
