The dangers of Plan B

The FDA has approved Plan B, the morning-after pill, for girls 15 and older. This is a very powerful drug, and if used at all it should be under the authority of a licensed physician.

A girl cannot drive legally in this State until she is 16. Yet she can take this powerful drug without the supervision of a doctor. You cannot drink until you are 21 and yet you can take this drug at 15.

What is really scary is that older boys could buy the drug for their girlfriends and force them into unwanted intercourse and state they are being responsible because they have the morning-after pill.

This does nothing to prevent STDs. It will not curb the pregnancy rate; more girls will become sexually active, feeling invincible from pregnancy.
