Civil diso-B-dience: Plan B contraception for teenagers

http://othermag.org/blog/?p=75

Lorraine, on Culture Kitchen, has offered to provide Plan B for people who
can’t get it:

So, here’s the deal. I am making a pledge, which I fully
intend to keep. If you need Plan B contraception, and you contact me, I
will go to my local pharmacy and get it for you. Your parents don’t have
to know.

The CWFA will likely lobby Congress for a bill that will make my
activities illegal, but I do not give a rat’s ass for what the CWFA thinks
of me.

This is an act of civil disobedience.

I’d like to add myself to that pledge. And I call on the entire feminist
blogosphere to consider pledging the same thing. It’s a big job, but
somebody’s got to do it.

Me, too, also.

Me too, it's the first thing I told Casey when I read the news.

Me too. (Presuming purchase by a male is allowed, which, given OTC status seems likely.)

Hell yes!

aquariumgirl called me this morning to talk about the Plan B approval, and one of things that came up in our conversation was that many high school students will know someone who is old enough to get it, and that's a good thing.

I'd buy it for anyone who asked. No question about it.

Sign me up.

I think that's rad. I'm really proud to know people who are willing to do this. Maybe someone needs to set up a list of folks who are willing to people can find someone locally to help them out.
