the ny times article is here: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/24/healt ... yt&emc=rss

my favorite part of the article is the following quote, comparing the critiques of anti-abortionists versus the support of abortion rights advocates:

Both sides are wrong, studies suggest. Couples in the United States have so much unprotected sex — half of all pregnancies are unplanned — that even if the pills were passed out like lollipops, they would be unlikely to cause a major change in abortion and disease rates.


if only they could pass out birth control like lollipops.

What's with all the unprotected sex, yo? Me, maybe I'm just hyper vigilant, but dude. Condoms?
Anyway, yay Plan B!

Women? Shit, victory for men as well! Think of all the unnecessary miserable marriages that have been prevented.


What, too cynical for your blood?

No, no, that seems on par as well.

Spay and neuter your sluts...

We do it for cats and look at the success rate! Happy stray cats and less unwanted kittens!
