Over-the-Counter Birth Control Pills - Yea or Nay?

[Pooka Fey]

79. The Sharia Law UAE? Where they imprison female rape victims for having sex outside of marriage?

50% of women say they would NOT report a rape in the UAE for fear of their own (the rape victim's) imprisonment. Women, by law, cannot circulate freely and if they do, they are subject to sexual harassment and sexual assault. ALL ADULT women have a MALE GUARDIAN in the UAE.

In this context, is your argument that B/C pills freely and easily available is an improvement for women? Really? In the UAE, it will be the male guardian (husband, father, brother, uncle) of the women who determines her access to B/C, because sex outside of marriage is a CRIME.

That her male guardian would impose this drug on her (her husband decides what to do with her body) without allowing her access to a doctor is discriminatory and trampling of her rights to access to healthcare. Still, this is the example you propose the USA to follow. Because it's cheaper. Blech.

Your other two examples are Kenya and Tanzania. Really, you propose that the USA should follow the example of Sub-Saharan African countries? What a lovely idea, but no thanks.

I noticed that you didn't press your luck on Europe. That was smart.

Really, some people should pull their heads out of their arse more.
