                                - I'm not sure what you're reaching for here--but there is no question that  TwilightGardener   Dec-08-11 12:35 PM   #60 
  - The decision was to not allow the morning after pill to be  sufrommich   Dec-08-11 10:24 AM   #27 
     - I think it should be sold over the counter, but not to minors (16 or 17).  TwilightGardener   Dec-08-11 10:27 AM   #28 
        - Are you aware that there is no age limits for boys buying  sufrommich   Dec-08-11 10:30 AM   #30

  - Here's a solution...  femrap   Dec-08-11 02:02 PM   #78 
  - they can't be trusted to have sex safely what makes them mature enough  ileus   Dec-08-11 10:20 AM   #25 
  - And what if they were raped or molested?  Aerows   Dec-08-11 10:45 AM   #38 
  - It's more important to punish women  JoeyT   Dec-08-11 11:33 AM   #51
