[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 588746, member: 1233"] This is wonderful. We have had pharmacists and some stores flat out refuse to carry this because it interferes after conception. Which is nuts, because if you are preg this won't cause an abortion. More than a few locally owned pharmacies have refused to carry this, and a couple lost a LOT of clients because they then refused to carry any birth control pills. It was an ugly local battle, esp with such a large college in town. It really bothered a lot of people. More than a few local ministers were upset by the decision of these pharmacies, which really shocked the owners. I have told my kids that they could come to me or go to the doctor if they needed help/advice/etc ... regarding sex in any way. I actually have a letter on file with the OB/GYN giving consent to medical care for my daughter if she should come in with-o me, including stating that I will pay all bills as needed. Our ob/gyn will treat any female regardless of age if they are mature enough to go to the doctor to ask for help, but a LOT of parents refuse to pay for treatment for their child if they don't know about the visit. I never wanted that barrier between my kids and medical care. Docs here think little of treating the boys, but often the girls have to have a parent even if they manage to get to a doctor on their own because they feel they cannot talk to their folks. I had a friend in HS who was hospitalized after her ob/gyn told her mom about her birth control choice. My friend was 18 at the time, and still in HS. The doctor broke the law by telling her mom, and got a lot of penalties for it. worst was knowing that the mom beat the daughter bad enough to hospitalize her after she learned of the rx for birth control.
