Somehow, Men Are Responsible For This
Yesterday was was Free Plan B Day all across Bucks County and apparently all across America, as Planned Parenthood gave out the backup plan pill free to all women over 18. Plan B used to only be available with a prescription, but a recent FDA ruling cleared the pill for over-the-counter sales. Pro-life groups — clergy, lay people and high school kids — picketed outside the Planned Parenthood administrative offices in Buxco, as well as a few of the ‘Hood’s locations in Lower Bucks. Anti-abortion are against the pill — which is just a higher dose of regular contraceptive — because it.. uh.. could stop someone from having an abortion, or something. The giveaway happened in Delaware, too, where pro-life activists also boycotted:
Slip it to them? Like into their drink or something? Damn, we’re assholes. Er. Easing of rules on Plan B draws fresh divisions [The News-Journal] |

Wait a second. I’m interested in how that scenario would go down, exactly. I can see slipping it to a woman after we’ve had sex, but how is slipping it to them going to help me convinced them to have unprotected sex with me? At what point do I either covertly make them ingest it? Or do they mean that I put it out on the table and say “Hey, here’s this pill, let’s take it and do it, and by ‘let’s,’ I mean ‘you,’ and by ‘do it,’ I mean ‘have sex’?” That’s not slipping it. That’s giving it. Or rather, coercing women into taking it. Somebody’s confused, here, and on multiple levels.
And insert the obvious “but-18-year-olds-can-vote/buy smokes/join-the-army” argument here.
At first I thought she said “slip it in women,” which I thought was referring to, y’know, doin’ it, hur hur. I could envision the scene…
“Hey, that’s a great dress. It would look great crumpled on my floor with my cat sleeping on it.”
“Get away from me you pig.”
“Wait, I have this pill that prevents you from having babies.”
“I’m going commando. Let’s head to a bathroom stall.”
Chris: Yeah, I thought of that, too. I just didn’t have the heart.
I also thought “use it to their advantage” was some sort of Pro Wrestling reference, like, “OH NO! HE’S GOT THE PLAN B PILL! THAT’S THE UNDERTAKER’S MUSIC! NOOOOO!” followed by the man hitting the woman over the head with a folding chair and putting her in a figure four.
