Paint: ID required, Abortion drug: nope

[cardio1]

The dichotomy of Plan B availability to anyone of any age by Federal fiat without any ID contrasted today with my purchase of some spray paint at Home Depot requiring my driver's license prior to purchase.
What are we coming to?

 

[hoosierdoc]

You can't huff levonorgestrel

 

[eldirector]

You got ID's for paint? Weird.

 

[KLB]

That is part of the war on drugs. Can't have just anyone buying paint and sniffing it.

 

[shibumiseeker]

The last (and only) time someone asked for my ID to buy spraypaint I left the cans on the counter and walked out, drove down the road, walked in to another place, paid cash for the same product and walked out with no ID required.

 

[woowoo2]

Why would anyone need that much paint?

 

[Bunnykid68]

Was it a particular type of spray paint or something?

Because girls of non-consenting age have reproductive rights you know and to consent to an invasive procedure like an abortion, but must have parental consent to be seen by a doctor for a sore throat, ear infection, you name it.

Thank a progressive liberal today.

I got ID'd for trying to by oil for my car at Walmart. I was under 18 at the time. Luckily the gentleman behind me bought it for me.

I don't know but I can tell you where we're going .

Well , that is if we were allowed to discuss such topics here .

I had the same problem at Home Depot. Told them no way I was showing ID. Went to Lowes, no problem.
IDing someone over 60 is just dumb.

You have to show ID for decongestants but not morning after pill?

Plan B is not an abortion, nor is it an invasive procedure. It delays ovulation and prevents the sperm from coming into contact with the egg for up to 72 hours. It does not work if the woman is already pregnant. It is emergency contraception.

Campaigners celebrate as Plan B morning-after pill made available to all | World news | guardian.co.uk

I'm guessing that you are a conservative, given the snide comment about progressive liberals. You should be thanking them. This pill doesn't abort fetuses and prevents potential welfare babies from being born. You do know that a disproportionate number of teen pregnancies occur in the poor, don't you?

As long as this treatment is safe for women, I see no downside.

Rustoleum Flat Black Spray can

Guess we'll have to agree to disagree on when life begins; my point was an FDA regulated DRUG is available to a 12 year old child without the need for an ID, much less a prescription or parent's involvement, but a can of Rustoleum required an ID.

Nowhere did I say it was an abortion/invasive procedure. In both cases, underage girls are allowed to obtain all sorts of services, some of them invasive, all in the name of reproductive rights without parental knowledge/consent. Yet one of my daughters could fall off playground equipment and break her arm and she isn't allowed to be treated until after parental consent is received.

My jab is at the liberal/progressive movement is advocating for children being legally able to make adult decisions.

All of that is not the problem. My kids can get kicked out of school for having an Advil, cannot see a dentist, doctor without my approval and I have to give up my first born just to be able to purchase pseudoephedrine over the counter, but a minor teenage girl can get this pill without their parents knowledge

I hate having to hassle with ID and going to the pharmacy to get Claritin-D. It's allergy medicine for crying out loud. I know the pseudoephedrine is the "problem" but it's a pain none the less.

The drug isn't the problem, people trying to control what people are doing with that drug is the problem.
