the morning-after pill, emergency contraception Options

[Spirited Away]

There were several of you who suggessed this alternative to women who were raped or do not want to conceive a child in the "abortion" thread.

Of course, I'm going to make a statement that the pill isn't that great of an alternative (just to keep us entertained).

Yes, its effectiveness as a contraception is almost a sure deal if it is taken as prescribed. However there is one major complication:

The morning-after pill could be viewed as a women's way to safeguard her from getting an unwanted pregnancy, however, it does not, in any way, safeguard her from becoming infected with HIV and other STDs.

Many women are dependent on birth control pills without considering their chances of being infected either with HIV or STDs. Calling the pill "emergency contraception" isn't going to deter most women from using it just as they use any other birth control pills.

So anyway, this is NOT meant to be a pro-choice/pro-life discussion, but strictly your opinions on the morning-after pill.

LOL.. You got me, I am offended.. </sarcasm>

This pill has ONE purpose, and ONE purpose only.

Yes, they are using this pill for protection.. which is protection from pregnancy, not STDs. You're right, this world is full of moronic people who are blinded by their ignorance. But ignornace is no excuse. If they are taking this pill, they should KNOW what it's for. Right?

This pill, they are depending on this pill for what?.. STD protection, or protection from pregnancy.. I mean, you would have to be stupid to think this pill prevents STDs.
