The New “Week After” Pill: Promoting Irresponsibility or Helping Women?

June 18th, 2010   (206 views )

A new type of morning-after pill is a big step closer to going on sale in the United States. An FDA advisory panel voted unanimously this week that the pill -- called ELLA ONE -- is safe and effective. Right now, the emergency contraceptive 'Plan B' has to be taken within three days -- but ELLA gives a woman five days.

I think the Week After pill is probably an option for those who are now relying on the morning after pill. However, I continue to believe that pushing these pills is shirking responsibilty -- promoting safer sex and better sex education is needed.
I'm afraid ELLA ONE will encourage more unsafe sex.

I suppose it's not a terrible idea to have something like this available. It gives you a few more days to "sleep on it", so to speak. Either way, people should not have babies if they don't want to and anything that prevents that is probably not too terrible a thing. Also...please...just wear a condom!

The FDA Advisory Committee's decision on ella® is a promising step in increasing women's birth control options. ella®, a safe, back-up method of birth control, is effective up to five days after unprotected sex. Like the currently available emergency contraceptions Plan B® One-Step and Next ChoiceTM, ella® is an important option if something goes wrong. But since emergency contraception does not protect against STDs or HIV, it should not be used as a primary form of contraception.

I don't think this should be sold like candy bars. It depends upon who uses it. We have to teach responsibility to our children in school and in our religious institutions. Whose right is it to force someone to bring an unwanted child into the world? I don't want the religious right telling me how to live. This country was founded by people who were seeking more freedom, wasn't it? It is hypocritical to try and legislate morality in a country like this. We need a pill that will terminate political corruption and influence peddling in the Congress. Unfortunately this is really another issue that can be used to divert attention from more important issues that need to be addressed.

You made good ideas here. I done a research on the topic and learnt nearly all peoples will agree with your blog. Your baby is screaming in the middle of the night and has an unidentified rash but you know it does not warrant a trip to the emergency room but you want answers and you want them fast.

With homeopathic, you do not have to worry about all the side effects associated with injectable HCG, such as building up a toxic level in your bloody in a short amount of time. Instead of a high calorie salad dressing for instance try cottage cheese or yogurt to improve the salads taste and peel of the pounds.

Thanks for taking the time to talk about this, I feel fervently about this and I take pleasure in learning about this topic. Please, as you gain information, please update this blog with more information. I have found it very useful. There are some great books on relationships out there that can really make a difference in even the most troubled and turbulent relationships.

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me.

Mermer; günümüzde özellikle mermer tozu olarak çeşitli sanayi dallarında katkı veya dolgu maddesi olarak ya da ana hammadde olarak kullanılmaktadır. Ancak, mermer tozu çoğu zaman ocaklardan patlatma yöntemi ile özel olarak elde edilen moloz büyüklüğündeki mermer parçalarının kırılıp öğütülmesi ile elde edilmektedir. Bu da mermer tozunu kullanan işletmelerde maliyetin artmasına neden olmaktadır.
