Oh, Canada

OTTAWA – Women in Canada should soon have access to the morning-after pill without a doctor’s prescription.

The drug levonorgestrel, sold under the brand name Plan B, has been approved for sale directly from pharmacies, Health Canada confirmed Wednesday.

Which, of course, begs the question: if we could do an over-the-counter plan B deal in the US, would we then have check-out clerks who refused to sell you plan B for “moral reasons”?

And yet, we’ve got people selling liquor and tobacco products. Oh, yes, tobacco kills! What about the Culture of Life!!??. How can those check-out clerks *sleep* at night!!!

But shit, pharmacists are hopping over the line all over the place.

This isn’t what I signed up for. Where’s my rights? I think we all need a little lesson of the “not everybody thinks like I do” variety.

Think of the amazing peace, love, and understanding that would engender.

Pretty scary.
