I don’t care what the Founding Fathers would have wanted, I don’t care if Jesus was a hippie or not, I don’t care what Marx prescribed. I can’t take living in a world where we’re all servants of long-dead men. You know what happens if you make a law the Founding Fathers wouldn’t like? Nothing, they’re dead and they’re never coming back. I’m genuinely envious of countries that can just make whatever laws they want without worrying about how 18th century agrarian noblemen would have seen it. Stop arguing that Jesus loved the poor too, what he loved or didn’t love is irrelevant, he doesn’t get a say in any of this. We could have a country that isn’t shackled to these ghosts if we collectively wanted to.

Emergency contraceptive info for US readers

Ok, I have now mentioned this three times in comments on Facebook, so it gets its own post, which I am cross posting across platforms.

I am not citing sources because I’m on my phone and this is all easily Google able. If anyone wants to drop links in reblogs for those who find Google difficult, I’d appreciate it.

SO.

Yes, you can get Plan B online, without a prescription, for relatively cheap.

HOWEVER.

Plan B loses efficacy in people 165lbs or over, and is completely ineffective at 175lbs. The median weight of Americans with uteri is 166lbs.

The Ella pill is efficacious regardless of weight. It is much more expensive ($67 vs $12) and requires a prescription.

BUT. PRJKT RUBY does a free online consultation, after which they will give you a prescription – and, if you like, ship you the pill. They will do this for other contraceptive methods as well.

And if you need help with the cost, my asks are open. If I don’t have it myself, I can help you find it.
