Disgusting.
What the hell kind of country do we live in that a woman can't get a prescription for birth control within /100/ miles of her town? With dozens of hospitals and clinics available? Moreover, a prescription for a medication that she shouldn't even NEED a prescription for in the first damned place, because it's licensed for Over the Counter sale? Not to mention that crap about qualifying for some moralistic doctor's 'criteria' to prove that you're WORTHY enough to not have to spend 18 YEARS caring for a child because you dared to have out of marriage sex and your damned condom broke.
If people really, truly wanted to reduce the number of abortions, and the incidence of child abuse, in this country, they would back easily available and cheap birth control for everyone, EVERYONE, who wants it, no questions asked or expected.
I am steamed.
