Plan B For Minors, A Bad Prescription

Plan B is a bad prescription. It's side effects are monumental for young women, especially 17 yr. olds. One dose is the equivalent of taking 40 contraceptive pills in 12 hours. You talk about a hormone surge? That's one for the books. Side effects? You bet. How about, bleeding disorders, extreme menstrual cycle irregularities, soaring sexually transmitted disease rates, and fatal ectopic pregnancies.
 
Pharmacists all over the world, are reporting, young men are buying Plan B. Do you think, there's a possibility of coercion, abuse of a minor and a cover-up of statutory rape?
 
The product insert description says, it is meant for infrequent emergency use. However, many women are using Plan B as their regular contraceptive. Knowing what hormones can do, it's no wonder, there's an increase in female suicide, as well as, many mental health difficulties. The approval of Plan B over the counter is not a triumph of science over politics. It is the abuse of young women.
