Thread: University Selling Morning After Pill In Vending Machine

I personally am pro-choice, but, seeing as how this is so easily available to the students they might just start spreading their legs every which way, go down to the vending machine and get their fix. No responsibility is coming into play here...

Yea, I agree. I think having to get the drug via prescription or from a doctor would help keep people more responsible, but to each their own.

After doing some further reading, it seems the medication is not too serious health wise, with few side affects, but I still would not want to put these hormonal doses in my body if I were a young woman.

Nor would I :(

So you like the idea of a nanny state?

Did I say that? I like the idea of responsible people doing what they like, and taking responsibility for their actions, whatever they may be. I do not really agree with putting powerful hormones in pill form inside vending machines at state schools. There are other ways to get them if needed other than vending machines.

Yup I agree! That shit is not candy!
Whats to stop some psycho guy from putting it in his preggo's girls food/drink? Or shit some jealous chick for that matter....

Jesus, I had not even thought about it like that. If someone really wanted to, they could do that now, but this sure does not make it more difficult.

a whole lot of humpin goin on

i dont see a problem with this, except ive heard the pill does some really fucked up shit to a womans body, for weeks

Some of the older versions did much more harm, but like Marax stated, they are not pieces of candy. That is the largest problem I see with it. It is not like they are difficult to get without being in vending machines.

I cant belive that shit... Vending machines? Really?

Geez, people. 1) The morning after pill does not promote sexual promiscuity. 2) The vending machine is in a safe and secure place where only students of the university can access it. 3) Taking the pill IS the responsible thing to do should a condom break or if a young woman is raped. 4) the argument of girls "abusing" the pill is rediculous...it cost $25. That is a lot of money for a college kid and, again...as with taking birth control, buying condoms, or teaching sex ed, this pill will not be the gateway to sexual promiscuity. What I like about this issue is that hopefully, this will open the lines of communication between young women, men, moms, dads, and educators.
