Plan B gets an A+?
According to today's news, the Plan B "morning-after" pill has been extremely popular in the drugstores that dispense it. I'm happy that there is an easily accessible alternative for women who are, G-d forbid, victims of brutal sexual assault, or in situations where a condom breaks or some other true emergency occurs. But are people using Plan B as more than a backup plan? Is there irresponsible, regret-it-the-next-morning sex happening out there? Sex can have serious consequences, ladies and gents. Even if you take a pill to prevent pregnancy, you can't undo the effects of sexually transmitted disease, or more importantly, the emotions that may surface during your romp. We aren't quite to the state of Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind yet, where you can just erase bad experiences from your memory and live like they never happened.

pretty intense development i reckon..
I have um, friends who have had to use this.. not often, but once or twice in "the heat of the moment". I'm sure it happens quite a lot, actually. People get revved up without any prep, and through the fog-cloud of passion rationalize that there's the Plan B pill. I agree, it should never be used as a primary form of birth control, but I am positive it gets used for more than just broken condoms or assault. I for one, am glad it's out there.
Yes, I accidentally cut off my own head and I've never been the same since.
