Morning After What...Exactly?

Feds ease restrictions on morning after pill "Plan B"

You just have got to love the federal government. If it makes a buck or saves a buck, they be right behind it nearly everytime. Personally I agree with both sides of the argument. The left says it will significantly reduce the amount of unwanted prenancies and the right says it will increase promiscuity. Both are good points, however the FDA saying it is safe does not comfort me in any way...Can anyone say VIOXX? Additionally, there is a decent chance that many people who were afraid to have sex before for fear of becoming pregnant, will now sans consequences, become far more promiscuous than before. Meaning a greater number of people will be having unprotected sex. So lets do the math. If the above is true and it is also true that Plan B is only 89% effective, then it would seem to me that there is a chance that unwanted pregnancy may rise just on sheer volume alone. Not to mention the "unprotected part, cuz you know nobody likes to wear protection if they don't have to. That could raise the number of STD's as well.

At Uncle Tim's we take issue with the idea that there should be an "out" that inconsequncial to begin with. Sex is not something to be taken lightly. What this does is give every irresponsible man or woman with a libido a license to boff anyone they please without having any reason to think first. Sex belongs between a man and a woman who love one another, and only in the context of a life long relationship. I know many of you will disagree with me, but I also know that many of you have had bad experinces from bringing sex into a relationship before it belongs there. Or that many of you have at least experienced guilt or just felt not ok after giving yourself to someone who is not suppose to have you. That is because when God made us man and woman and when he said "the two shall become one flesh", he meant it. Sex and love making are meant to be a physical affirmation of that statement between two people who plan to spend their lives together. Not that it has to be any more or less solemn or any less wild and fun. But it does come with responsibility. Responsibility to yourself, to your own body, to the person with whom you plan to do it. This pill is not the problem, the need for this pill at all is the problem. Our insistence on letting it be as easy to buy as a stick of gum only further lets slip the morality of America.
