Having an aul tug classed as mass genocide

It’s interesting that my post, that didn’t fit in with the sanitised version of events in relation to the morning after pill presented here, have been removed. I was used to that kind of supervision of free speech in China. I’m very disappointed in http://www.journal.ie.
Just for the record, Mark and others – ‘the fallopian tubes are the female reproductive organs where an egg is fertilized. The fallopian tubes nourish and carry the fertilized egg to the uterus.’ The morning after pill is designed to thicken the uterine wall and make it impossible for an already fertilised egg to implant and develop.
Sanitise your choices all you like. My comments are not based on any religious affiliation. A scientific physiological fact remains a scientific physiological fact – a fertilised egg is destroyed by the use of the morning after pill.

trying too hard to be a troll mate. comes off as needy.

because the person can’t afford to buy it maybe?

Would you rather your tax pay for the morning after pill or years of children’s allowance David?
For some of these girls it’s the difference of being a single mother or being able to go onto higher education and earn a decent living, contributing to the exchequer instead of relying upon it.
Oh no wait. You would rather give it to the banks and Bondholders…

I agree David. Taxpayer money should not be spent on someone’s lifestyle choices.

Lifestyle choice, are you serious Luke. So unless you can afford it, people shouldn’t have sex. Anything else you want to take away from the people struggling. Before the morning after pill became available over the counter, it would cost €60 for your doctor visit and another €40 for the emergency contraceptive. Do you think some one on the dole could afford that. Or would you prefer them to risk it and another child be born into a low income family.

Sarah. Unless people can afford to, they shouldn’t have children. Why should the state pay for other people’s lifestyle choices? A lot of responsible people postpone having children because they simply cannot afford them but per usual in this country the reckless and irresponsible get looked after!

John your argument doesn’t really make sense in relation to this article because by going and being pro- active, people are being responsible and postponing having children whether it’s for financial or other reasons.

@ John F,

I think you’ll find that the Morning After Pill is to prevent a possible pregnancy so maybe those that take it are being responsible…..

@Sarah. You call taken the morning after pill being ‘pro-active’. Maybe if they were responsible enough in the first place, used contraception they wouldn’t need to take morning after pill? I think morning after pill will be abused as a method of contraception for the lazy!

Other forms of contraception don’t always work. There are many other reasons for seeking emergency contraceptive, besides laziness. I’m not saying that factor may be there but in the smallest minority. Don’t paint everyone with the same brush John.

@Sarah. Fair enough but you mentioned earlier that the morning after pill costs €40 and you also suggested that it should be given to people on the dole for free? If it were free it would be used irresponsibly and as a substitue for contraception, leaving aside the massive costs to the exchequer there are also serious health implications of abusing this drug!

@john f…must be great up there on your high horse…never hear of a condom splitting?

@siobeli. Every hear of Double contraception? Using the pill on its own is not fool proof, missed timed doses, stomach bugs? And condoms are by no means perfect either, they occasionaly rip as you mentioned. Using both methods is far superior, help prevent unwanted pregnancy and STIs !

I didn’t suggest that it should be free, it is free with a medical card, once you have a prescription from your doctor. Which is why I think laziness is only the minorities reason for using the morning after pill. If you want to receive it on your medical card you first have to visit your doctor who monitors if you’ve had it before. As far as I know most doctors will not prescribe it more than three times. @John is it that emergency contraception is available on the medical care that you have a problem or that it is available at all. The reason why I talked about people who are receiving the dole, because unfortunately that is one of the few ways to receive a medical card anymore.

@johnf…you may not be aware that the pill, ‘the contraceptive bar and other chemical contraceptions often don’t suit women due to other health issues. You can be in a long term relationship and a condom can split, or have a one night stand and it can split. There is a perception that the morning after pill is only used by young women who were out drinking etc. it is used by women of all ages and circumstances.

@John F, there are more side effects associated with the morning after pill than just not becoming pregnant and is not something that one typically takes likely…

friend of mine got the morning after pill after she got food poisoning and was afraid she threw up her pill, how is that irresponsible??

@John F “Why should the state pay for other people’s lifestyle choices?”
Why is taxpayer’s money spent on viagra? If a fella can’t get it up, why should I pay for him to get his jollies?
Why is it spent on oxygen tanks for emphysema sufferers? If you’ve smoked for years, it’s your own fault!
Why is it spent on bypass surgery for people who’ve clogged their arteries due to eating crap for years? Should have laid off the pies, Fatty!

I hope you never face anyone as judgemental as you in a doctor’s surgery.
