12. I guess that I am really missing something here.

This is not snark. I really do not understand. Currently, anyone, male or female, at any age, can walk into any drug or convenience store in the country (not to mention a number of public restrooms) and buy condoms. Condoms are primarily designed to prevent the sperm from reaching a fertile egg, thus preventing pregnancy. (Yes, I know that they also serve the purpose of preventing the transmission of STDs, but that's not why they were invented.)

The so-called morning after pill does exactly the same thing - it prevents the sperm from reaching a fertile egg, thus preventing pregnancy. So why is there such an uproar over females taking responsibility for preventing their own pregnancy, when it seems to be perfectly OK for a male to take responsibility for getting a female pregnant? Why aren't they screaming that being able to buy rubbers is a good deal for pedophiles and statutory rapists.

And just for snark, could Laura explain to me how someone could commit statutory rape against an old woman, as opposed to a young girl?
