A new report out from the Alabama Department of Health states that ALL public clinics in the state of Alabama MUST supply women who THINK they may be pregnant with the so called "emergency contraception" drug.
Dr. Donald Williams, of the Alabama Department of Public Health stated, "If the emergency contraceptives were made more widely available, more than 4,000 of 10,000 abortions would be prevented in the state of Alabama." Public officials also stated that the initiative is in the "public's interest," and it is protected by the $5 Million Federal Family Planning Grants available. I don't care what your view of the subject is, I do NOT agree with publicly funding these types of services for ANYONE.
I know that this subject is very touchy for some, but here are a few of my thoughts on the issue.
How can we dole out drugs to women, who obviously aren't capable of taking a regular Birth Control pill correctly, and expect everything to be okay?
We do not have comprehensive research available to us that shows the side effects on women who take the drug numerous times within a short amount of time.
If a woman is promiscuous, and/or lazy, who is to say that she won't just skip using a b.c. pill or having her boyfriend use a condom & go straight to the FREE clinic for an E.C. pill the next day?
I think that a lot of the problem with today's society is irresponsibility. We have made abortion on demand legal, and in doing that we are essentially saying to men & women, "It's okay to be promiscuous. Don't worry about the consequences, if you DO get pregnant, all we have to do is give you a few pills, or do a 'minor' surgical procedure & you will be fine."
I think that the E.C. pills are sending the same message.
I know that some of you will agree with me & some of you will disagree. I guess we will never know the full impact of these drugs until someone's body has had enough & they die from it.
