Hello. I am an avid supporter of birth control. I have one or more prescriptions for Plan B in my medicine cabinet. (Yeah I'm old school... I got that shit before it was over the counter.) I am currently enrolled in an honors level Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo 6 year course. So far, A+. Teacher's pet.
Has anyone noticed the surge in assumingly unwanted pregnancies among their facebook friends? WOOOW. That's a lotta babies. I guess in the tough economy people between the ages of 18 and 23 are subconsciously considering how people got through the depression: had more children who could thus do more work. It's totally rational thinking. Ask your nana.
Anyway, my favorite part about unplanned pregnancy is simple: the planned parenthood/ reproductive services VS. God-fearing farm people initimidating wooden sign war. (Also, side note, I live about a 10 minute walk from a very popular Planned Parenthood location; on any given day you could make friends with 15+ hispanic women who do not want their baby Dora's.)
The signs/ bumper stickers for either side of this controversial issue are relatively hilarious. "It's a child, not a choice." All I can think of is the sassy Shuanita-type calmly and rationally repeating this insightful phrase to her estranged drug dealer boyfriend. Bitch, please. Not even Jesus is reading your crazy bumper stickers, so please remove them from your Astrovan. Planned Parenthood at least has a sense of humor with their marketing strategy:
"Pregnant. You're Not Alone." ....LOL. nope. not anymorrrre.
