Day 3: Plan B

While I was sitting at Walgreens last night waiting for my birth control prescription, two teenage girls came up to the pharmacy counter and told the guy very casually, "we need a Plan B." He checked their ID, they handed him a pack of candy to add to the transaction and $37.98 later, the transaction was done. They had their Plan B in hand and were on their way to "preventing pregnancy after known or suspected contraceptive failure or unprotected intercourse."

I've always considered myself pro-choice, but I must admit witnessing this transaction made me very sad. Here I sit wanting desperately for a baby after 2 years of trying about to spend $15k in an attempt to have one. These girls want desperately not to have one and hand over their $36 to ensure they don't.
