Pharmacists can't refuse Plan B pill

[JBeukema]

The conclusions of medical studies are the facts.

ON the box it says 72 hrs. Trust me!

That does not really matter. The point was that studies have shown that you have 5 days no matter what anyone, including the manufacturer states.

This is more evidence this board is full of ignorant dishonest *****. You're choosing to cite one study over the medical facts then referring to "studies" and completely ignoring the fact PB One Step is to be taken immediately....which is why it's called EMERGENCY contraception you fucking stoopid shitstick. You're a joke.

It is called "emergency" contraception because it is meant to be taken in the event that your regular contraceptive failed, not because it is has to be taken in an emergency.

 

[JBeukema]

Don't you get is, Q? What bigger emergency can there be than having to go to a different business or take a different pill or *gasp* show some responsibility?

I get it, I just wonder why they don't admit it.

You're the stoopid **** that claimed you needed a prescription for it so you look pretty fucking silly trying to explain an issue you clearly are uninformed about.

It's called "emergency" contraception because you have to take it as soon as possible. The earlier you take it the more effective it will be and you sad fucking dumbasses know this but live in your world of dishonesty to try and justify your ignorance.

Lol!

The linked article, which includes a review written by several M.D.'s shows they can be taken up to 5 days after intercourse. The manufacturer advises taking them within 3 days, probably for the same reason milk is marked with a 'sell by' date that's set some time before it's expected to expire.

You are one sad dishonest dickidiot.

So there's no link?

The manufacturer doesn't say 3 days?

Milk isn't marked with a 'sell by' date?

The manufacturer says to take it as soon as possible which is why it's called emergency contraception. This board has to have more dishonest pathetic ***** than freeper, hannity, and welovebush all put together.

When you keep calling everyone ***** every other sentence, it's pretty hard to take anything you say seriously.

The easiest solution is for you to stop being such a whiny ****.

 

[JBeukema]

So you use female genitalia as a term of derision and think women are incapable of finding a second pharmacy.

Why so misogynistic?

If the word "apple" caused the same hilarious responses I'd use that word so it has nothing to do with anatomy. I also never said women are incapable of finding more than one pharmacy. You are one dishonest **** and have been consistently throughout this thread.

Up to 120 hours after you have sex.

ON the box it says 72 hrs. Trust me!

That does not really matter. The point was that studies have shown that you have 5 days no matter what anyone, including the manufacturer states. The squabbling over 3 or 5 days in a straw man anyway. The heart was whether or not this is an emergency medication that needs to be available to you anywhere because of the dire consequences should you need to drive a whole extra hour to another pharmacy. That argument is inane and stupid. The fact remains that this is far from what would be considered an emergency situation at all if it was not for the political bullshit that comes with all subjects pertaining to abortion. The fact that not one person has been able to answer the challenge I posted here earlier about a truly emergency medication that may cause the DEATH of a child is not available at virtually any pharmacy but this medication is required shows how foolish this argument truly is. Another question would be should all pharmacies be required to stay open 7 days a week because someone might mess up friday and then might not be able to get any plan b until Tuesday on a long holiday weekend. That would be a travesty after all. A whole 3 days would pass before you could use that pharmacy of choice.


Here is the jist of it: those that are for this crap legislation are pushing their personal belifs on others because they feel attacked whenever someone disagrees with their position. It is rather ironic that these individuals purport to be "pro choice" and are taking away a business's choice. This medication is NOT emergency medication no matter what label people want to slap on it to make it so. You will not die if it is not administered, it can be taken in a large window of time and if it is not effective there are many other menthods that can be utilized to correct your mistake. Lastly, this medication can be purchased BEFORE you run into any problems and most likely should be kept on hand if you are that worried about pregnancy. This is all an issue of personal responsibility and leaving people to make their own choices. If you dislike pharmacies for not carrying this medication there is always the choice to support another with your dollars. Legal action here is uncalled for and attacks the very foundation of what makes this country great: FREEDOM. If all our freedoms are subject to removal for inconveniencing others because they failed to take the proper precautions or responsibility then we might as well serve up the rest of our freedoms on a silver platter.

The point I am making is, it does the exact same thing as birth control. If you have IUD that prevents eggs from implanting, it is the same thing as taking Plan B after conception. All birth controls have progestrin in them, Plan B just has a higher dose. If the pharmacy is willing to sell Birth Control, it is pretty stupid, and very much political if they refuse to sell Plan B. For one if you take Plan B right away, it can prevent ovulation and conception, just like regular birth control. So wouldn't a Pro Life person want them to get the Plan B as soon as possible, so they do not kill a fertilized egg? or are you against birth control also?

 

[JBeukema]

So, they're stupid.

Since when is that grounds for infringing on their liberty to not sell a given product? After all, registered Republicans can refuse to sell gay porn in their book shoppes.

The thing is, even if they do not sell birth control they are going to be forced to carry this.

What does it matter if it is stupid or contradictory here, the baseline is the choice to choose whether or not to carry it. People are allowed to make stupid decisions all the time, it's called freedom. The choice to not carry the drug seems pretty real to those that do not want to carry it and certainly not stupid to them. Also, where did I say I was against plan b? I do not believe the same way these pharmacist do but I know that, no matter what I believe, it is not my right to impose my beliefs on them. Some here do not seem to understand that little concept.

 

[Luissa]

I just think it is hypocritical. And I think if they refuse to sell it they are doing it for political reasons.

 

[JBeukema]

Does it matter why the don't choose to carry a given product?

Does it matter whether the reason I don't sell cognac because I believe drinking is a sin, because I don't like rap, or because I run a bookstore?

I want to know where I said they should be made to sell it? I simply said it was hypocritical.
And if they are going to use religious reasons as an excuse, maybe they should not sell other drugs that go against their religion.

I know everyone is hypocritical in some things, but I find it kind of funny when I see people who claim to be "pro-choice" showing that they are in fact, opposed to so many choices.

the original plan B-EC is no longer being sold, it has been replaced with plan B-ONE STEP, and it must be taken within the first 24hours for it to be most effective and within 72 hours at the LATEST, giving the least effectiveness.

PLEASE do not continue saying that it is ok to take within 5 days/120 hours, you are passing along FALSE information which could affect the lives of people reading this thread....the 2 different prescriptions do not even have the same chemical ingredients in them...and also plan b-ec is NO LONGER available to purchase, it has been taken off the market.
