I believe that's where you and our new Pope disagree. He probably

You know, weed inconvenient? Kill it.

No woman should be forced to bring an unwanted child ino the world.

Think about that.

There is always birth control and the morning after pill.

There would be except that there's a pretty vocal minority on the
right that would ban those things also.

There are several listings of drug stores whose religious proprietors
won't sell the morning after pill.

When I was a kid in New Haven, we were allowed to work some jobs
(with a
work permit) after high school. I got a job two afternoons a week
working at a drug store in an "iffy" section of town. This was a small,
family owned store. I was the combination stock boy and soda fountain
jerk.

Well, the drug store did a land office business selling liquor, too,
mostly cheap wine and whiskey, but it carried a reasonable variety. The
booze was on display behind the soda fountain. Turned out that selling
the booze was also part of my job. I was 15. :) That didn't bother
me at
all.

I also sold condoms, which, as a raunchy teen-aged boy, I thought was a
hoot. At the time, there was some questionable legality about selling
birth control "devices" in Connecticut, or something like that. Anyway,
that's my memory.

I also walked about the neighborhood on deliveries, usually of
prescriptions, but sometimes I delivered booze. I remember one
afternoon
I set out with a double brown bag of Four Roses whiskey, a quart of
ginger ale, and a box of condoms. The guy who answered the door and I
looked at each other and laughed. He was a regular customer who
recently
had acquired a lady friend.

We never had any trouble with anyone in the neighborhood, poor as it
was. The drug store was the only one for miles around, and I guess
everyone knew if the pharmacist-owner was robbed, he'd just close down
and open up a shop in a safer neighborhood.

Life was simpler back in the day.

You've had some marvelous experiences. I've found that when a store
doesn't carry something I need,
I go to another store.

Yeah, well, you're reasonably well off. If you are poor, carless, and
public transportation is a real hassle, and the only drug store around
is run by a religious zealot, you are S.O.L.

It's a myth... doesn't happen. When I was a kid we had to drive or take
the bus 15 miles to Hartford to do our shopping, it can be done. Now we
have a thousand stores between here and there... I can get condoms
anywhere.

Your life experience isn't relevant or even typical. There are plenty of
places where there is no public transportation or a variety of retail
stores.

Why would you need condoms?

Why do you need a variety of retail stores for birth control or morning-after pills?
