Hey, the road to self improvement sometimes has a body count.

Soooooooo, it would seem that the left does agree with choice in education. But only if it means killing children in the womb.

Kathy Schiffer wrote today about learning about that many universities have installed “Plan B” vending machines.

“The University of Connecticut has just installed a “Plan B” vending machine in the basement of the Student Union “in an effort to expand access to contraception.” Plan B is a recent development, a form of emergency contraception that is used within 72 hours after having unprotected sex. The University’s Student Health and Wellness Division explains Plan B contraception’s use and effectiveness on its website, claiming, in part, that Plan B is safe and effective, and that it reduces the risk of pregnancy by 89%.

I thought, when I read the article reporting on UConn’s distribution of birth control medications, that the University of Connecticut was alone in encouraging women to avoid pregnancy while not avoiding sexual activity. UConn is, as Fox News reports, the first college in the state of Connecticut to install a Plan B vending machine.

However, with just a little research I discovered that there are at least 39 other universities across the United States that have vending machines that offer Plan B, condoms and other “reproductive wellness” products — thus protecting their female students from inconvenient pregnancy, while stopping short of protecting the babies they might have conceived. The cost of Plan B through a vending machine is generally cheaper than the same drug purchased from a pharmacy; vending machine packages typically range from roughly $10 to $30.

I am left struggling to find words to describe this decision on the part of university administrators. Never mind that there is a significant risk to women who self-administer Plan B without the oversight of a trained medical expert. And while the FDA removed the age restriction in 2013 (before that, one had to be at least 18 to purchase Plan B), many pharmacies — fearing a lawsuit if the drug has deleterious side effects — still impose restrictions, such as a requirement that underage women have a signed parental consent before they can purchase the drug. There is no such age restriction governing who can push the button on a vending machine.”

Now, we can argue about how Plan B is not actually a contraceptive but an abortifacient but in reality they don’t care. They don’t. If they don’t care about babies in their ninth month of gestation, do you really think they’ll care about a baby before it even implants in the womb?

Plan B can have massive MASSIVE problems. I mean, medically and not just to the baby. I’m talking about the woman. It can cause nausea and vomiting. Hey come on Matt, that’s a normal Friday night on college campuses, amirite? It can cause massive bleeding. It also increases the risk of an ectopic pregnancy, which can lead to death if untreated. But these people care about women, right?

And we’re not even talking about the psychological impact on a young woman making such a decision alone. We’re also not even discussing the ease with which some dude wanting to make sure a girl isn’t pregnant just buys it and slips it into a drink. Remember, anyone can buy this thing from a vending machine.

Think about this. If UConn or any college would allow a cigarette machine on campus, the outrage would be heard nationwide. But a Plan B vending machine is ignore. There’s something very wrong here.
