That is the great plight of modern America. And I'm not sure how we become the "land of the free" again. It is very complicated.Jayrod P.

And it won't get better until we start thinking in terms of empowering our children instead of trying to protect them from themselves. Because we've done a terrible job of protecting them through teaching them next to nothing and usually three to five years too late.Jayrod P.

I think it's terrible that she could not get the MEDICAL PROCEDURE that she both wanted and needed because someone somewhere in a suit in a plush office decided that it was immoral for her to do so. Laws are enacted to protect us and to keep things safe and orderly. When laws take away our choice and options, we are no longer the "land of the free."Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10177028541482022474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8255329229751420925.post-18369831983454063422012-04-08T18:58:38.067-06:002012-04-08T18:58:38.067-06:00Jayrod, I know your wife couldn't repeat the e...Jayrod, I know your wife couldn't repeat the experiment with the same pharmacist while wearing her wedding ring, but THAT might have brought in another interesting set of questions... Because in some people's minds, marriage is seen as the "reason to have kids" (never mind that silly "love" thing, you know....)<br /><br />This was a wonderful piece. Thank you for writing it.

You are honest and forthcoming about your own feelings and opinions which will lead to a better discussion.<br /><br />I also feel that our country is in a sorry state of affairs when it comes to education about birth control. If people - women in particular aren't properly educated about birth control and sex in general they are at a much greater risk of unwanted pregnancy and STDs. I get particularly frustrated at what I feel is a lack of options when it comes to preventing pregnancy, and then a lack of adequate support when young single women then end up having children.Mandolinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01101902306921599021noreply@blogger.com
