If you are speaking about abuses of said pill, well, that's all on the "child" who thought she was grownup enough to let some guy mount her......................
then what will happen will it cause problems with the fetus or the mother?
why im asking because we all know many young ignorant girls will do just that they will take the pill when they are pregnant to try to terminate it
Maybe she mounted him :lol:
an fda finding that the pill is not harmful may be, may not be science
but a ruling that says some little girl is mature enough to go here---and there---without parental guidance is...
socially speaking, tragic
ridiculous comparison?
they both involve medicine.
they both can have major impacts on a person's life.
they are both childen/parent rights issues.
i'll add another example that I see as quite similar, the issue of parents views on chemo therapy when they override the child's.
What you seemed to not understand, is I was asking actual questions and openly wondering how I see this issue. No false dichotomy existed. you just jumped in wanting to score stupid points for your oversized ego and jumped to conclusions as a result.
I personally think it's a bad idea that a kid can't consent to her own dental work, or her own minor surgical procedure, but can take a drug, which is effective enough to prevent pregnancy, without parental consent.
a victory for the morning after pill but a defeat for parental rights and a defeat for the right to life
Outstanding!A victory for the morning-after pill
Opinion: A victory for the morning-after pill - CNN.com
Im glad this nonsense is over, if it met the requirements of other drugs not restricted there was ZERO reason to restrict this one.
The FDA assess danger and effectiveness etc. not morals.

question that i would like an answer
what happens to the child when she finds out she is pregnant for a month because she misses her period and takes the plan b pill to terminate the pregnancy?
I'm not quite sure why you're comparing surgical procedures to taking a pill that is safe enough to be sold over the counter.
I'm not aware of any other sex hormone tablets that are sold OTC. Have they made birth control pills OTC, and I missed it?
So you were comparing them.
You seeing them as similar does not make them similar.
Outstanding!
So....no more crying when the only ER doc on duty refuses to offer it to a rape victim. Just go to Walgreens and buy it yourself.
How does that answer my question?
It isn't an answer, it's a question. Have they made birth control pills OTC, and I missed it?
Sorry, I'm not changing the subject.
Birth control IS the subject, and it is now going to be legal for young girls to buy birth control OTC. That is perfectly on topic.
Yeah.....and I asked why you're comparing birth control to surgical procedures in terms of parental consent. Do you really think they pose the same risk?

. I think it's a public health mistake to put plan B 100% OTC for anyone to buy and use how they see fit without any guidance by a practitioner. From a legal standpoint it doesn't make sense to make Plan B an OTC drug while hormonal contraception is still prescription only.
