The 5 Mornings After Pill
Good news if you’re too dumb to wear a condom and too lazy to head straight to your local pharmacy for Plan B. The FDA recently approved a new pill, Ella, intended for women who’ve engaged in unprotected sex or in case of contraception fail. Unlike Plan B, which must be taken right away, the new pill can be taken up to 5 days after intercourse. Studies found that the pill was not as effective in women with a body mass index over 30. A panel discussed and voted against warning obese women of this on the product’s label. (I want to know who is having sex with women that have a body mass index over 30 at all…)
Plan B and Plan A(wkward)
My friend took this picture while on vacation and I HAD to post it. I have an even better story to go with it:
I was meeting a friend at a clinic to take her home after terminating an unwanted pregnancy. The waiting area was pretty full when I arrived so it took me a moment to find my friend. I finally spotted her and took a seat beside her.
I then tried to entertain her with zany antics so as to take away from the horror of our surroundings. I was in the middle of Act I when I looked up and noticed a man sitting no more than two feet from us. I thought he was pretty cute and there was something familiar about him. After another second I realized it was someone I used to date. He looked up at just that moment and we made eye contact. AWKWARD. We said hello but not much else.
He was obviously there having impregnated someone and was waiting for her to return from the procedure. I thanked God that I wasn’t there for my own appointment. Soon my friend’s name was called and we were left with the uncomfortable task of sitting there, practically next to each other. Pleasant conversation was altogether impossible; we tried to avoid eye contact. Soon I busied myself with a book and nodded off. When I awoke, much to my relief he had left.
