Chile bans free "morning after" pills

what's up with that link? ...wasn't working for me *shrug*

It might appear that Chile's Court has a little more commendable moral backbone (as regards teen sex issues) than does our own "Supreme" courts in the states.

I might agree with the ban as regards state-provided alleviation to any consequential actions or accountabilities to 14-year old punks phuking under a roof they don't pay for themselves...and, of course, any potentially unchecked health consequences for any undesirable effects from the drug as well... but I wonder how this is made to affect the "poor women" who are of age and like their sexual pleasures but can't afford the "undesirable" consequences...

maybe governments could just start giving away dildos and blow up dolls and convince the masses to avoid the situation altogether in a political campaign sort of like "The War on Drugs" or "terrorism" or something like that, eh? ;) that might be considered to be taking "sexual liberties" by the horns and giving 'em sharper points, huh? ;) hehe

sorry i dont know why its not working i'll try and fix it

some interesting "side effects" you won't hear about too often when considering abortion measures like the "morning after" pill...bass turd proponents make it sound as innocent as a piece of gum or cotton candy you might have a lot more to worry about than you think takin' that phukn pill, especially if you're a teen punk I'd imagine with less resources than even "poor" women...

"I took the morning after pills 2 weeks ago and since then having stomach discomfort, pain and backache every now and then. A week ago, I had my menstrual. Unfortunately still having the same discomfort and pain after 4 days. Is what I am going through normal?"

"I’ve been having the same problem. I took the morning after pill within 72 hours. Right now it’s been 9 days and I still have abdominal pain and occational back ache. I’ve been reading trying to figure out what wrong and so far my symyoms are matched with ectopic pregnancy. I’m not 100% sure but you should read up on that. I’m still not sure if this is normal and I would really appriciate any comments on this. I’m really worried."

"About four days ago I took the morning after pill and have been experiencing the same discomforts. My back is very sore on the left side and I also have abdominal pain. I am not sure whether this is normal and have recently made an appointment with my gynocologist..."

"I took the morning after pill 4 days ago and i am still suffering from abdominal pain i feel pressure on my abdomen giving me an urge to pass urine. I also have noticed some vaginal spotting ( little bit of blood). I don’t know if this is normal and how long it should go on for, everyone i know has never experienced these symptonms."

"took one step. 6 weeks ago. I have been bleeding ever since and also passed what I think are big blood clots."

"I’ve been having the same problems. I hoping at least it is just the pills. I’ve been having backaches, pain in my stomach, and also I can hardly touch my boobs becaue they hurt so bad."

"took the morning after pill 6 days ago and am suffering from abdominal pain. Is this normal and how long it should go on? Also I can hardly touch my boobs becaue they hurt so bad. I have continued takin my birth control pill, hoping my period starts this week!"

"A week after taking the morning after pill (2 pills taken within 12 hours) I was fine, but after a week, I started menstruating, with bloating, discomfort, breast tenderness and lower back pain. It’s now the 12th day of bleeding, no clots, but enough blood to say I have a medium to heavy period each day."

"i took the morning after pill 5 days ago was on my period the week before taking it have been bleeding for around 2 days discoloured blood sort of orangy coloured is this normal after taking this?"

"I took the morning after pill and my breasts shrunk and never grew back. Has anyone had this happen to them?"

"I took the morning after pill a little over 1 hr after unprotected sex and the next pill exactly 12 hours after. It has been 3 days and I have experienced nausea, vomiting, spotting, and extreme cramps… I know these symptoms are too early to be signs of pregnancy… I’m just hoping that they’re side effects of the pill."

"after taking MAP for quite some time i am experiencing irregular period now & when i get a period it stays on for weeks along with cramps,nausea & bloating"

"i was planning on going to the dr tomorrow to get the pill, i had unprotected sex about 20 hours ago and my boyfriend for some reason is very worried about it this time, I am more worried too because he has never acted liek this before…but after reading all of this i dont think i want to take it…I am very sensitive to pain and cramps and sont know if i can take two weeks of a period..I just dont know what to do now….."

"i took the mornin after pill on monday and its friday now and i have rely bad pains in my belly i cant sleep and am scared it could be ectopic pregnancy"

"I took the pill yesterday, and fully expect to suffer some of these symptoms. I always find taking the pill causes me to get period cramps, spotting, sore breasts and a really low depressed feeling for sometimes as much as two weeks. It isn’t usually too painful to cope with, it just feels like my regular period cramps only at the wrong time of the month. I guess if it hurts a lot you should talk to your doctor. I always get morning sickness when I take the pill as well - really frightening if you think you might be pregnant, but apparently also a side effect of the pill. Not a lot of women get these side effects, so the drug company doesn’t consider them ‘normal’ side effects. This happens to me every time I take the pill, so I guess it is ‘normal’ for me."

"This month my period came a week early, im usually never early or late so i dont know why this happened it lasted a week! I took the Morning After Pill 29hours after unprotected sex with my partner since then ive been very sick, head aches stomach cramps and very heavy bleeding..i have took the Morning After Pill before and never had these symptoms..why is it so different this time???"

"I took the morning after pill 2 weeks ago.After coming home from a holiday I got I believe my period but it was dark very brown with light tummy cramps.Weird thing is I had my proper period on the 8th feb.So having 2 periods at the same month is weird right?? Slight tenderness in my breasts.Have taken the morning after pill before with no side effects.But what’s happening now??"

"I have taken the morning after pill twice now and my period is always late-not good when that is what you are waiting for, plus i get sore breasts, bloating and feel very emotional and depressed...the general advice from chemists seems to be that it will have no effect on your body or mood, i think this is very misleading..."

"I took the pill March 28th. 3 days after conception. It is now April 22. My side affects are really taking their toll!..."

"I took the pill on wendsday april the 25th. But now im gettin worried becuase the side affects are bad."

"i took the after morning pill 3 days ago and i have been having horrible pains in my belly and back. i am felling really nausious and dizzy all the time, i feel really bad today and all the symptoms are getting worse. today i have even started getting the shakes, is this normal i ask the doc and they said no it’s probably a bug you caught. I’ve never felt this bad not even with the flu, someone please tell me what’s going on!! comment plz "

"I took Plan B within 12 hours of what may have been unprotected sex, but darn that booze, I don’t know if we really did it or just messed around and he didn’t finish…alcohol is good at impairing THAT too.
Took pills 13 hours apart 11 days ago. Had some spotting, major emotional crises every day, major gas and appetite. And super tired.
Still going to the bathroom (#2) a lot, spotting has stopped. But now I’m waiting for the real period…any day now…tick tick tick. It would not be so bad if the guy was my boyfriend, but he’s not!"

all these and LOTS more from http://womenshealth.about.com/b/2004/08/25/morning-afte...

a lot of these women sound *REALLY* worried and probably wish they didn't have to consider taking that shit. (how good was the sex honey? was it *REALLY* worth it???!!!) and the way it's promoted you'd think that morning after pill is like walking in the park... doesn't look like it... I hate you phukn pharmaceutical companies preying without consequence.

Can you imagine how much "abdominal discomfort" you'd have if you were pregnant?
