The question was about ready access to the 24 hour pill, whatever

being called today.

The biggest problem with that pill is they cost about $40.
Still a bargain compared to the alternative tho.

The problem with young girls is denial. They don't believe they are
pregnant for weeks.


Part of that problem is that righties in school districts work
overtime
to make sure that 10-11 year olds of both genders don't get direct,
explicit sex ed instructions, including how pregnancies are
prevented,
and that sex ed continue through at least the first year of high
school
as mandatory subjects.

Sex is not bad, and abstention preaching leads only to teen
pregnancies.
Pre-teens are going to experiment. It's appropriate to make sure they
know what they are doing and that they take steps to prevent disease
and
pregnancy when they become sexually active.


I agree sex education should be more honest but there is nothing
scarier than the actual reality of being a teen mom.
Just explain the truth.
It is the end of your hopes and dreams. You are going to de doomed to
a life of diapers, other ****ty jobs and poverty.

It's been many years since I had kids in jr. or senior high school, so
I may be wrong but I just can't picture a public school sex education
curriculum that addresses the issues you pointed out. That has to
come from the parents and family.
