There is a new debate about the age limit being lowered from 18 to 17 for buying the Plan B pill without a prescription. They are asking if age 17 is mature enough to buy this new drug. This drug "Plan B" is meant to prevent a pregnancy within the first 72 hours. It is not an abortion pill but merely a preventative measure against pregnancy.
I think that if a 17 year old is mature enough to spread her legs and have unprotected sex with a boy, whether it be consensual or non-consensual, then she is mature enough to buy this over the counter and not need to go to the doctors office and have to get her parents permission. I mean come on, by the time it takes you to get the courage enough to tell your parents that you had sex then you have to wait for the appointment (that is if you don't go in as a walk-in) a week will have gone by and by then it's too late. You can only take this within the first 72 hours for it to work.
Do you really want there to be more 17 year old mothers in the world? Yeah, I didn't think so. I mean, come on, Maury Povich has cornered the market on finding out who the baby daddy is when it comes to girls who are 12 years old all the way to adulthood. If a 12 year old is mature enough to get pregnant I think she should be allowed to buy this too so I think that 17 is way mature enough.
The debate shouldn't be is a 17 year old mature enough but instead it should be how can we make sure all teenagers who are old enough to have sex get this pill?

All by myself
15-all-by-myself
Since Chip has started working I've been very lonely lol. I'm all by myself now. I figured that while he was away I'd be cleaning or doing something constructive. I do the dishes and laundry when there are some laundry that needs to be done. I mopped the kitchen floor and I pulled weeds but I can't pull the weeds, my allergies are too much for that job.
I figured that I'd get more reading done but today is the first day that I've read my book in at least a week and I only started reading it because I felt like this was the best time to read so why aren't I reading? I only read 1 chapter though, he'll be home in 1 1/2 hours and it takes a couple hours to read 1 chapter, they are long chapters hehe.
Maybe when I get my bike it will be less lonely. Yeah, I'll still be alone but at least I'll be getting some exercise and I'll be outside and on the bike trail. I really miss riding my bike. I don't trust my bike anymore because it keeps shifting gears for no apparent reason so I want to get a new (used) one, a road bike (ten speed) at the thrift store by the doctors office.
I'm glad Chip is working again even though I'm bored out of my mind lol. I have lots to keep me busy though so I shouldn't be too bored. I have my PSP and I got plenty of books to keep me busy and I have friends online to talk to but usually in the daytime even though they are online they are also at work so I don't bother them.
I was thinking maybe now that he has a job I could start playing EQ again. But, I don't know, I'm kinda over it. I also don't want to start spending money on that again because then I'm gonna want the next expansion and then I'll get hooked again and then I'll be on it all the time and won't get anything done and when he gets home I'll ignore him so I think a no on that.
I have plenty of ideas for wood burning but I don't have any wood. I do need to get some so maybe if I had some then that would take care of the boredom.
Maybe I'll write out a schedule for the day. He leaves the house at like 8:30am, he says it takes 10 minutes to get to work. So I figure I''ll leave the house at 8:30am as well on my bike (when I get it) and ride for a couple of hours. Then at say 11am (if I'm back by then) I'll read 1 chapter, that should take 2 hours. Then at 1pm I'll have lunch and do some wood burning for maybe 2 more hours. Then at 3pm I'll clean the kitchen up a bit and do the laundry (if needed).
I don't know, I mean, I don't live my live through a schedule, I do what I want, when I want to lol. I might decide during wood burning that my hand is too cramped up to continue so I'm gonna go do something else or who knows, I might get sleepy after I ride my bike. So let's see how it goes when I get my bike. I also might get sleepy while reading and accidentally fall asleep lol.
