The new pill called Plan B has cause a lot of controversy from not just parents of adolescence but from the white house. The pill was said to stop unwanted pregnancies within 72 hours after intercourse. The pill Plan B is also called the morning after pill. The pill caused controversy over whether it should be sold over the counter to minors. The pill will now only be sold to people over seventeen years of age, those who are sixteen years or younger need a prescription to get this pill. Plan B is an excuse to be irresponsible, allows sexually active people to be worried free of pregnancies.
In my opinion the plan b is another form of abortion even though it isn’t quite the same it still has the same effect. I only believe it would be ok to use plan B if someone was raped and the needed the pill for precaution. I for one don’t believe in abortion or any form of abortion. Freshman Ariana brooks said, kids over 13 or 14 should be over the counter. Freshman Andrea Taylor said, “no, then they will think they can just have unprotected sex what if the pill is deflected.” Freshman Ellisha Reed said, “Yes, if young women forgot to use protection then Plan B gives you that to not pay the consequence.” Freshman Khadidrah Simmons said, “Yes, so it can prevent pregnancies.” These are all opinions from teens so as you can see everyone has a different opinion. I still think that it shouldn’t be over the counter.
