adoption is not an option if a woman does not want to be pregnant for 9 months or have a child. Get real

Though I would never want a child that is mine to be aborted IT IS THE MOTHER'S CHOICE. However I do agree that partial birth abortion is sick and disgusting.

He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail

Well I for one am glad my mother didn't have that choice in 1962, or else I'm sure I wouldn't be here to post on this thread. Yes, I had a crappy childhood, with a mother who was not equipped, and didn't have the money nor skills to properly raise me, but childhood doesn't last forever.

Since I will never be in need of one,I don't think men should have any say so and it's shocking how it really is in their hands, so to speak. If everyone would take their heads outta their asses and make the morning after pill something other than wearing a blazing scarlett A, we wouldn't need to have this discussion.

Amen, Al Dente. How ironic that it's so much easier to obtain an abortion than a morning after pill.

It's mindboggling. You would think the way drug companies make up diseases, just so they can peddle their nonsensical drugs, they'd find a way to make the morning after pill lucrative as well. Then you'd see it advertised right along side that SH*T viagra and avamil. Now, there are two wildly important drugs to push. (Al, violently rolling his eyes).

I work for a drug company. The company that manufactures Viagra in fact, which is a best-seller for a reason. It's necessary for a lot of people.
We manufacture many many other drugs as well - and a certain poster on this board will tell you that one of our drugs literally saved her life. So think twice before you bash drug companies. Someday you'll be grateful for them. Perhaps you or a relative have reason to be now, in fact.

Are you lecturing me on drug companies now? I thought we were agreeing on the morning after pill. There's a reason i don't visit this board more often, everyone flip flops so radically at the drop of a dime. Is their a drug for that?

Seemed like you were lecturing US on drug companies. I was only responding to you.

Al Dente brings up another good point: why in hell are prescription drugs being advertised on television? People shouldn't be "sold" on a drug during "Survivor"...they should be properly diagnosed by their doctor and their doctor should decide, what, if any medication is best suited to treat the condition. An ill-informed patient hounding him/her for a possibly inappropiate medication is ridiculous!!

Would you rather your doctor just prescribed a drug for you that you had never heard of and haven't had a chance to research for yourself? Educate yourself. That's what those commercials are for. To give the consumer a chance to decide for themselves what is out there and know what to discuss with their doctor. This is the information age.

Thank you Sunfish, *that* was my point, and Raith, you'll know when I'm lecturing "us", that post wasn't it! I'm not much for the soapbox.

Sunfish wasn't making your entire point - your first point was about companies "making up" diseases - I'll let you know when we start that. Right now we're too busy researching and developing drugs to work on the diseases that don't have cures yet to be wasting time making up more.

"Educate yourself"? From a 30 second commercial of people running through fields of daisies or leering at lingerie in a store window? Give me a break! That really IS a Laugh Out Loud!!
I trust my doctor to be more educated on the drugs she prescribes for me than I am. I read the instructions and warnings I get from the pharmacist. If I have further worries or curiosity, I look it up on the web, and if I have any reactions I delve deeper on the web and call my doctor. But rely on the commercial?? That's the most ridiculous thing I've read on any board all week, and I've read a lot of b*llsh*t.

I'm not getting into this with you Raith, I already know the "rules" that consist of your always being right, no matter WHAT the topic and just for your edification, this is the FIRST I've read anything about you working for a drug company and developing drugs to help people. Why would I ever suspect that to be your line of work with the amount of time you spend on a *theater fan site*? I wasn't poking fun at YOU and/or what you did for a living in 'making fun' of drugs like erection medication and female lubrication medication (which were the 2 I mentioned). I wouldn't have said anything had I realised it would personally offend you so. Enough said.

I'm not personally offended at all. Just setting the record straight from your opinions. I'm done.
And Sunfish, if you read my other post here, I'm not expecting you to "rely" strictly on the commercials. I said to educate yourself. Which is what you do. A lot of people don't bother.

Regardless, it is not the government's place to force a woman to bear a child. It is her body and it is her decision what she does with it
but it's not her life or her soul she is killing..so there for is it really her right to decide?? why does the child not have a say if he wants to live or not?? because he can't speak?? that don't sound fair.
adoption is not an option if a woman does not want to be pregnant for 9 months or have a child. Get real
i guess she should of thought of that before she had sex

"It" can't survive without her body, so yes, it is her decision. When medical science can teleport it out into a petrie dish, we can talk about it.
