Sudafed is behind the counter (here) because you can use it to make meth. You don't need an Rx, but you do have to sign for it. Don't think people are going to make meth with Plan-B.Well.. you can just go get sudafed off the shelf here. You don't have to ask for it or anything.. I don't think the pill should be like that. Going to ask the pharmacist for is good because they can give you any info you need on it, answer and questions, etc.0 -

Too bad they can't make Meth out of Plan-B, then, at least, crackheads wouldn't reproduce.0 -

Are you sure? I think most places you can get A sudafed, but not the good stuff. I can still get sudafed, but it's the stuff that isnt' as effective. If I need the good decongestant, I have to take the card to the pharmacy. Sorry, I can't think of the actual drugs names that are in the ones behind the counter at the moment.0 -
Honestly, make plan B readily available... but make all birth control readily available. Somehow plan b reminds me of the procrastinators in highschool. You know, the one's that came in the day of and said "oh crap, I completely forgot about that project can I just hand it in later". Sure the jobs done in the end, doesn't mean they've learned anything about responsibility and planning though.
That's beyond ignorant. You do know rape victims take Plan B, as well, right? Or some people don't realize that the condom failed 'til after they're finished, right? Some people even just like to not take a chance WHILE they used a perfectly working condom. There's different reasons. I suppose you yourself have never missed an assignment? Or maybe you've never forgotten your homework at home? Or had to take a hit on grade points to turn something in late? So quick to judge. Everyone makes mistakes...especially kids.
As for my stance on this, I think it should be available to anyone, anytime, but minors should be warned of the side effects. And remember, people...just because one person doesn't experience any side effects, doesn't mean that everyone will be side-effect free. Minors should be warned of the side effects, and be given explicit instructions on how to take it. I've taken it a few times, and I noticed the last time I took it, was very different from how I took it years ago.
I would certainly hope a rape victim would have immediately gone to the hospital for treatment, where she would be provided proper medical assistance.
I suppose I didn't consider the condom breaking though. But I never said in my post "Don't make it available, I want all these damn 'slacker's' pregnant"... though now that I'm reading it over again, I can see where it came off as ignorant to make such a generalized statement. I understand mistakes happen, there are certain scenarios that can't be avoided, but I think people who have had to take plan B now would NEVER use it as an "excuse" or an "I'm too lazy to use a condom I'll just get plan B". They use it because something happened that they weren't expecting or couldn't avoid it and need assistance in fixing the unavoidable mistake.(as you implied in your post) If you want to relate this back to school, its like the MSAF form (missed assignment form, you get one per class per year), rather than an "I was tired so I went to bed early" type of reasoning its an "something happened, and I don't want the rest of my grade to be affected because of it " You use it responsibly, and its always there as a back up option but you never abuse it (which MIGHT[not the big use of might] happen with plan
.
I still stand by the original point of my post : plan B should be easily accessible as with all other birth control methods.
That would be my hope for a rape victim too, but that's not always the case. There is so-so much more invovled in a rape than purely the physical act. There's a lot of shame, embarrasment, and distrust involved. I would much prefer those women take care of what they can at the moment if they aren't going to bring themselves to the hospital for whatever reason.0 -

LOL Meth does not = crack. But I see your point.0
