Liminal Thoughts on Plan B part 1

This is an emotional issue, however, no matter how one slices it, it is also a liberty issue. An individual issue, what one might do in the bedroom is no body's business....

This posting will you see is a bit out of context. My apologies. This blog is long enough, and I do not want be to accused as a paste & copy site for political fodder, so I ask you to read the posting of Diego from the blog Conservative Majority (link)....

A majority of the post discussion is in the commentary related to the subject. There are times when wonder away from the topic. However, the overall intent is on the discourse of the effect, and attitude toward sexuality, abortion, and morality. Below, and subsequent posts is, the discussion. Observe...

Anonymous made a point about the different birth control methods and how they function. Yes, one can masturbate as well. There are several options--Plan B is another....

And yes, there is a potential for abuse as well. However, I just remember a rape case locally, Denver, where a woman was brought into hospital-St. Anthony's (yes--a Catholic hospital) and was not "allowed" all medical choices, because of "hospital" policy (which is their right to--but lacks compassion)--and the doctor was not allowed to do a "referral..."

If this option was available the woman could have safely resolved the issue herself (if she had mental capacity to do so)...

Controlling the aspects of others lives whether it is from the right or left is very dangerous. We need to find the middle ground...

Personal accountability and responsibility is part of this middle ground...

Government at its best to provides informed choices to its citizenry. To protect the citizenry well being, mentally and physically, and to regulate when necessary via the people's concern...

It is not to interfere in reasonable "consenting adults" liberties, that does not break the basic social contract and rule of law....

The FDA did this, meaning that they left the choice to the person....

Diego your argument is specious and emotional, oft used, "what about the children?" Yes-- a possibility, but is a false dilemma-->

"This is a horrible decision because this is going to lead females to a feeling that is a false sense of security, especially since it is known to be not as effective as regular birth control." <--- Again not your decision, not your choice. Yes some may do this, but they will have to deal with consequences themselves. Then you say,--->

"Then, you’ve got to think about the predators that will potentially rape minor females and force the pill upon the victim." Again, yes this is a possibility as well, but they have been raped, and have committed an "illegal act," which means if the victim speaks out, the evidence of "act" will still be there. Also, as I understand this, that two pills are required for consumption and must be taken within 12 hours of each other and within 72 hours.

This is not likely, unless the predator is willing to detain (kidnap) the minor child, and in those cases the child would more likely end up killed.

Besides that long of access would be troublesome for a predator, and This would highly indicate a family member or parent of incest.

The bottomline is this, teaching your children accountability and responsibility starts with the parents. However, shrouding one's child(ren) is not responsible nor accountable. If one has done there job, and have had active discussion with one's children they will surprise and make correct decisions and right choices.

Education and fully informed choices and [doing] the best one can is all one can do... After one, parent(s), has done there work, free will to make stupid choices is afforded to every free person including children....
