Reply #12: i have always been confused about the RW'ers

logic.... the reasoning behind the opposition to the morning-after pill was quite revealing. A woman being interviewed on Nightline who was from one organization that lobbied the FDA to not approve the over-the-counter sale, said that it should not be available because if a man were abusing a young girl, and said pill was available to her...that man would be able to continue the abuse without fear of detection. The absurdity of the argument vs. the safety and effectiveness of the contraception method has no parallel. This woman would prefer that no one have access...just in case a potential victim in some place and time, could become pregnant, thereby ending the abuse.
The other argument was that it would have the effect of more teen-age sex. As though no teen should have contraception available to them. They don't like sex...they don't like women having sex...and if women have sex they would like to punish them.
