Of course, in the end, it really doesn't matter what the side effects are because if a woman chooses to take the AM pill, its her choice, not yours or mine.

Fine, then let's just get rid of the whole prescription drug nonsense and just make all drugs OTC. If some loser wants to abuse Valium, it's his choice, not yours or mine. If he dies due to his irresponsibility, it's his fault because he should have known the risks.


Did it ever occur to you that some people can't afford a doctor to get a prescription, or they were using contraceptives and didn't expect to get pregnant and its Sunday AM and the doctor is home with his family, or they are kids playing around and never intended to go all the way but they did and now she's 15 and pregnant, or she thought that she couldn't get pregnant during that part of the month but she screwed up her days and now she is.

If your wife is a pharmacist, then you know valium is a narcotic. Narcotics make people feel good and are addictive.....so people have a tendency to abuse them. That's one of the main reasons why they are prescribed. If the morning after side effects are half as bad as you describe, then I hardly think people will be taking them to get off.
