Awww...I think you're going to be a GREAT daddy!

Until this moment I had no idea who you were, just assumed you were some n00b who drifted into OT Good to see you back on VJ, Melissa!

If someone could buy it over the counter for a minor, they could do the same with a prescription.

I don't think this is a good idea. What prevents an older friend from buying it for a minor? I agree that a prescription is easy enough to get.

Yeah, I guess so. It just seems like it's making it even easier for minors. I suppose many would argue that that's a good thing.

I suspect you'll find there's not a whole lot of people who rely on the morning after pill as a primary contraceptive. It's used on an emergency basis, and it's expensive. I seriously doubt there's a minor out there thinking, oh good, now I can just have sex and use that every time. That's entirely and untterly unpractical.

Why aren't birth control pills over the counter????

BC Pills can have side effects (good and bad) and should only be taken by certain people. Also, if you have a doctor who knows you well, they can decide what is best for your hormone levels.. etc.

I'm talking about vasectomy when you have a family and 'are done' having kids.. if u dont wanna have kids doesn't mean u dont wanna have more sex.. and I think vasectomy is the easiest way for both, rather than pills or other stuff.. if you dont wanna have more kids.. and i.e., I only wanna have 2 kids.. so, after that I'm planning getting that..

so where does that leave young childless married men? shouldn't they be able to get one if they and their partner ahve made the decision definitely to not have children?

I agree that vasectomy is the best way, but there a a lot of men who are so worried about anyone getting near their bits with a knife...

BC pills can be good for some women. I've known women who have had really painful heavy periods (I'm sure the men love this topic) and nothing helps except pills. Or a hysterectomy.

Anyway, what was my point again...?

That contraception is Satanic. Much like yoga and falafel.

What IS a falafel? I'm gonna have to google it, hang on...

wth? why buy next day pills for married couples? if a couple wants to have sex and not get pregnant when they dont want/need more kids.. isn't it easier, safer and cheaper (long run) to get a vasectomy? im getting that when im done havin my 2 kids lolol

I guess the idea is if you get that 1st kid before you're "ready". My opinion, if my wife gets pregnant even when we're not ready, we'll have to figure out how to be ready... no abortions, no plan b's. Wife agrees. But different strokes for different folks, so making the option available is important.

same here

so is this thing for people who are too lazy to use a condom or take "the pill" ?

it's emergency contraception.

Really, it's both, isn't it? Both for "emergencies" like a broken condom or even if you just do it in the heat of the moment and then go oops...

Man it's scary to think of you with an actual human baby....

Trust me, I know.

I agree with Melissa, I think you would be a good dad! (from what I know of you, not that any of us could really tell ) Daddy Gupt...hahahaha that would sound funny.

AHH where did the quotes mess up???

That is a NICE quote job there, Christina.

I can tell! I really will have to get one. What kind do you recommend?

gupty knows I'm kidding. He'll be a stunning father. As long as he lets his wife do most of the child-raising.

The funny thing is that it messed up MY quotes when I quoted Christina's messed up quotes.

What about the weight gain associated with BC pills?

You told me in a PM that you hate him, think he's dumb, and that he'll be a horrible father. Don't lie.
