The question was about ready access to the 24 hour pill, whatever it's
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.

It used to be that dear old mom and dad provided that education.



Apparently in a significant percentage of households, dear old mom and
dad don't. It's an appropriate subject for the public schools to teach.

In an even more significant percentage of households, there is no dad.
