The FDA approved the Plan B pill be available over the counter to girls 17 years & older. When I was 17, I was a girl. Not a woman. Not that that matters. Any.
There are so many more than obvious issues with this pill itself - but the name alone is disgusting. What a horrible, disrespectful, crude title for a pill that kills/murders a new life that God alone created.
And this little pill doesn't encourage sex? Among young people? Excuse me? WTF? Yeah, right. Who are they kidding? How easy to rid a 'mistake'. First of all, any baby is no mistake. Second of all, not only is this little devil encouraging sex, it's encouraging unsafe sex. There's a quick, easy, accessible way to now rid an unwanted baby, so who cares about STDS? Who cares about HIV? I mean really, who cares about abstinence? There are no morals anymore. There is no self respect. There are no ethics. There is no responsibility. There is no honoring life & all God has created. And all that can now be bought in one little blue box.
I find it so darn disturbing that society encourages none of the above. Society does not encourage morals. Or self respect. Or ethics. Or responsibility. Or honoring life & all God has created. As a matter of fact, seems society is doing everything possible to discourage these things. I suppose they would all originate the 'Plan A'.
And that is exactly why our world, country, society & even community is going to hell in a handbasket. I wonder, exactly, how many girls/ladies/women will look back years from now & tell their breathing children that they more than likely, or possibly, had a sibling. That their mom murdered. Because she was pretty much encouraged to do so. Applauded. Cheered on.
And the name of the new life that was so simply taken? Plan B.

I hope I don't sound rude, but I wonder what you may feel about a young girl being molested or raped and getting pregnant that way. Perhaps the person that did this to her had an even worse past that the young girl could not live with and properly raise her child. Perhaps this young girl was ashamed and just couldn't tell her parents of her pregnancy. Perhaps she just felt their were no other options except to take this pill. Perhaps it was more painful for her to carry this child being reminded of what she went through - then to place it with an adoptive family. Perhaps she felt hopeless and alone and didn't know what to do. I believe that unless someone has personally gone through the circumstances they speak/write about, they don't know all the facts. What would you tell this young girl? That she didn't have morals - that her pain didn't matter - that this was her easy way out. I don't believe that these circumstances would be easy at all. I hope this doesn't offend you or come across the wrong way - I just wanted to let you know that their are people who may use this pill that have different circumstances.

Those of us who believe that ALL life is sacred regardless of how life was created would say that yes that baby should not be destroyed with a Plan B. Most individuals who are pregnant and did not Plan the pregnancy are ashamed but our responsibility as Humans is to provide support and encourage an option that includes that LIFE be sustained rather than destroyed. The facts prove that such circumstances that you have listed are less than 1% in existence. This pill will most commonly be taken by individuals who are regularly sexually active... sinply forgot other means of protection and want to make sure there are no inconviences such as a child in their life. They already partake in activities that are for their pure selfish enjoyment rather than in the confines of a marriage. The repurcussions for a mother who has chosen abortion in any form will haunt her forever. The most common is when individuals discover they have damaged their body and can no longer have children in the natural fashion. There are a number of mothers who are currently in counseling for post abortion therapy.
In your possible scenario this young gal would have benefited from therapy to get through the tragic issues/events that she had endured. But once she had worked through those issues imagine the joy of having a beautiful baby look into your eyes or the look in another mothers eyes as she holds "her" baby for the first time. God does not "Make Mistakes" the purpose of "this" child may have been for it to be an outward sign to others that this young gal needs help in so many ways beyond being pregnant. In an effort to be more "matter of Fact" I know this child you speak of some good friends of mine now call him their SON. As he was adopted 5 yrs ago and placed with them by a selfless mother who endure the pain of rape and the emotional trauma. To compare things even more "tragic" He looks just like the attacker but to another family he looks like the greatest gift God ever created and his firstmom can say that she made the right choice to place him for adoption as she could not face the "pain" of raising him daily. I would tell this young girl I am here for you every step of the way and the decision of whether to raise this child or place him or her for adoption is not the most important thing at this moment her mental health is and guide her to a qualified therapist. Plan A always has better options! I am not offended but have heard this less than accurate circumstance many a time by those who are not pro- life. If the only babies that were aborted was from these such cases the numbers would make you gasp in comparison.

Thanks for your comment! I appreciate your opinions.
I have adopted 4 children & have been active in the adoption community for over 8 years. I have spoken with numerous (!) birthmothers & I have 'seen' just about every horrible situation out there that there is to be seen. Including rape victims that resulted in pregnancy.
We actually matched with a pregnant young lady (she was 19, maybe?) - she was a rape victim herself. I remember every stinkin' detail like it was yesterday. She lived in Vegas & through her entire 9 month pregnancy, she had to sit in court time after time after time as she sent the guy who violated her to jail. Yes, thanks to her courage & strength, he was convicted & I hope he's still in jail to this day. Not only did she have to live with the fact that she was raped, & that rape resultin in an unplanned pregnancy, but she had to continue to face her attacker time & time again in court. Reliving the entire ordeal. I cannot even imagine.
I remember all the emotion & I remember all too well how this tore her up inside. I remember all the details of the night the rape happened, as she shared all facts with me. I remember how she had to call her mother to come & pick up her small child because she couldn't get out of the bathtub because she felt like scum. I remember her depression & I remember her anger. Deep, deep anger. And I remember her sadness.
She had made the decision to place the baby for adoption (with us), but she also was aware that part of that baby belonged to her. She went to church & she prayed for a solution to her situation. She carried that baby & nurtured that baby for 9 months & when that little boy (who was supposed to be a girl!) was born - she parented him! His name is Nathan. He is 4 years old now. And she adores him.
As a matter of fact, our Cailyn? She is named after Nathan's birthmother. ☺
Regarding the hypothetical situation with a pregnant 17 year old? You just stated some of the reasons Plan B should not be available! Do you really think any young girl/female could think clearly after being attacked? Heavens no!
Plan B is letting those young kids know (not referring to rape here) that they should go ahead & act on their impulses. Consequences? What consequences? If a baby was conceived then no worries! Take a pill & kill that baby! Ta-da! Oh, wait. The unwanted baby is gone but guess what? The young girl was just diagnosed with HIV because she had unprotected sex.
What a scenario.
One more thing regarding a rape victim. She is the most important thing & getting her help & getting her to doctors & counseling, etc. is what matters most. It is not her fault she was raped - & the new life that was created is not to blame, either. And certainly does not deserve to be murdered any more than the victim herself does.
Life begins at conception.
