Paint: ID required, Abortion drug: nope

[NSA 308]

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.

Since I've seen others post that you can buy paint without an ID at stores other than Home Depot, I am lead to believe that it is a store policy. Thus, your comparison to the availability of Plan B due to federal policy is faulty and irrelevant. Apples and bananas.

Are you seriously implying that life begins before the sperm makes contact with the egg? Because if that is truly your position, you're probably gonna have to turn yourself in for mass murder.

Hmm...Do you believe life begins in the scrotum? If not, your statement makes no sense, as this drug prevents pregnancy, not ends it.

Some kids who get raped have bad parents. Some kids get raped by their parents. If a 12-year-old has the sense to seek emergency contraception in the most insecure of times I don't see why they shouldn't be able to get it. (Because their rapist won't give permission?)

She should also be able to buy paint without ID. And ammo.

If you are implying that "life begins" before the sperm reaches the egg, then you need to revisit biology class....

and I've committed some horrific atrocities against nature, including but not limit to: confinement, chemical euthanasia, abandonment, misdirection and encouraged filial cannibalism.

Again, not the point of the OP, but I will respond by pointing out Plan B may be taken up to 72 hours after the "event". Unless one has realllllly slow sperm, fertilization has occurred and the drug then works " by preventing attachment (implantation) to the uterus (womb)."

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.

It was store policy to ID you for the can of spray paint. Not all stores do this. It sure as hell isn't the FDA requiring Home Depot to ID for spray paint.

I've already pointed out that there is NO point to the op. Bad comparison.


Preventing attachment prevents pregnancy, no? Seems fine to me. Any objections are likely religious in nature, and thus, properly irrelevant in our civil system of laws.

You got ID's for paint? Weird.

I was carded for super glue.

It is not intended to be an abortifacient by design, but it is disingenuous to say that it is not one in fact. The argument that it delays ovulation ignores the possibility that the woman has already ovulated within the 12-24 hours prior to having sex. How would you classify the prevention of implantation?

Rustoleum Flat Black Spray can

Gold and silver gets you high faster. So I hear. I used to know a guy we nick-named Porter Paint.

Hmm...Do you believe life begins in the scrotum?

No...but that's where the party starts.

This thread is worse than putting the silver buying thread in the legislation of the 2nd Amendment forum.

Some people just can't figure out how to use the sub forums.

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

All of that control and yet our country still has a fairly substantial meth problem...

Wait... Substitute "meth" for just about any drug and the sentence is still valid... Scary? ... Sad...

Again, not the point of the OP....

Then the OP went to Grunt's school of thread titles.

I get IDed every time I buy Claritin D so now it is officially easier to get the morning after pill than to buy an allergy med.

 

[giovani]

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.

So you are admiting to a straw purchase?

 

[chezuki]

No. He's admitting the guy behind him made a straw purchase.

Paint addicts.

I think we are all tired of getting ID'd on everything.
