17 year olds have access to Plan B without a prescription.

It was foolish to interject politics into the issue of access to this in the first place.

 


In the first place God made idiots. This was for practice. Then he made School Boards.

And my DD pointed out that not all states have the same Age of Consent standards either.

Prescriptions, parental consent, parental notification, etc.,

~I still think under 18, the parents should be notified if she needs Plan B.


I'm curious as to why.

That's just my opinion, I guess. I would want to know if my daughter under 18 was being sexually active. I only had sons, though LOL I don't know whaen they started, but i'm sure their father told them what he was told by his own Father "Keep your pecker in your pants, or USE A CONDOM!

Got it :)


My concern would be that some may take a chance and not use Plan B rather than have parents informed.

Or just easier access to contraceptives.
