I am not sure how I feel

to me it's simple, it ought not to be available to anyone

I am still pro-choice but anti-abortion for myself, so I think it's nice to have the option - but 17 seems young

17 seems really young. I guess I look at it as a really bad substitute for parenting

not. The reason they're minors is that society's decided that they're (legally) incompetent to make this sort of decision.

If we've changed our minds on that, we should lower the age of majority, not start blowing logically incoherent special-case exceptions...

...through the rules. Either someone's capable of taking charge of their own life and decisions, or they're not.

yea, cerebrate - you are right. You articulated what I had trouble with

While it would be ideal that minors not get pregnant, we can see from history that that is not going to happen. Is it better to force

kids to carry and raise children on the dime of taxpayers?

The Plan B is not the same as abortion it prevents pregnancy. Not nearly the same thing.

My son and I almost died getting him here. I wanted him more than anything on earth. He was my 8th pregnancy and IS my only living child.

After he was born I had a terrible time getting birth control in my area. I had a newborn and wanted to make love with my husband but was

afraid. I didn't want to get pregnant again...still do not. I want to take care of my son with all tht I have and am. If I were to become

pregnant again I would spend another 9 months in bed, not caring for my child. If I had unprotected sex with my mate I would want to take

that Plan B.

There are a lot of reasons why it should be available to people. Maybe not all people. But some parents just aren't parents at all. They

aren't preventing unprotected sex from happening and in some cases are making it easier.

it was a bit of a hassle getting robin's birth control but it got done. now if only Sagan will allow us to have sex again

It was a paid to get her bc? Robin, you're over 18, right? I've never had any problem, they practically

hand it out like candy in college here

doesn't matter what type, condoms, pills (monthly and morning after) etc - you get it all either free or super cheap

good luck with the sex - I know babies can take a lot of time and energy

I almost killed my mom, but then she went through 5 years of miscarrages to get my brother

Don't know why the doctors let her. After that they insisted on tube tied
