Plan B n' Stuff

Congratulations A&M grad and Denver Bronco Von Miller, the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Year! WHOOP!!!

A&M Football season tickets still haven't been put up for renewal yet, due to an as yet unknown schedule for next year's home games. We are all eagerly awaiting the announcement, as there is now a waiting list for new season ticket holders. Awesome for the program! Last year was the first time ever that they sold out of season tickets!

So... the Plan B controversy. I think it's a great product for many reasons. To have it readily available to students is fabulous. It's already available at drugstores, but it would be nice to have other options.

To those who think it's wrong to use, don't use it. Plan B is safe and legal, so there isn't any reason it should not be made available to those who do choose to use it. Frankly, it's none of anyone's business if they do.

To those who think it encourages unprotected sex, take note of the common side effects:

nausea
vomiting
diarrhea
abdominal pain
headache

I imagine after taking it once, you never ever engage in unprotected sex again. That's a good thing!

One morning long, long ago, I forgot my birth control pill and took it later in the day, then took the next one in the morning. They were too close together and I had all those symptoms from just a slight increase in hormone levels. I don't think I forgot my pill again after that. Not pleasant. I assume Plan B is far worse... but much better than a D&C.

Also, at $25 a pop, it's ridiculous to assume that would be anyone's primary or secondary method of preventing pregnancy.

A final shout out this morning-- One of my awesome Aussie friends, Sue-Ellen, has begun reviewing movies for online mag Beauty and Lace! How flippin' cool is that? Read her review of This Means War here.
