As long as you feel like that’s true that’s all that matters.

Could you point to some cases of little old ladies being prosecuted for emailing out “some stupid meme of a kid taking a piss.”

every fucking definition of “child porn” is deliberately infinitely tractable.

You’ve got some weird hangups, man. Listen, if a picture of a toddler making a funny face in the bathtub is enough to get your engine revving then you have bigger issues at play. For everyone else on the planet it’s a completely unremarkable image that gets a few “awwws” and is then promptly forgotten.

Normally there’s nothing weird or sexual about naked babies.

Counterpoint: The authorities know what real child porn looks like. The gestapo is not kicking down your door because someone sent you a meme of a kid peeing or a holiday calendar featuring their kids happily splashing in a bath.

But you’re not disseminating child porn unless it’s porn. Which it’s not if its not lewd or lascivious (I don’t get to type that word enough). I agree the laws on the issue are EXTREMELY vague but a naked pic of a kid is not de facto porn (I don’t get to type that phrase enough).

Or for the love of humanity you may reach out to your law makers to make laws that fucking make sence

I know you aren’t seriously asking this question, but it does come up so: yes, it is totally legal to have a naked picture of your kids. The picture must be lewd and lascivious in order to go from “picture normal parent takes of kid in tub” to “child pornography.” There are a a heap of factors law enforcement uses to…

That’s a very odd argument to make. “A bad thing happened to me after a doctor prescribed me birth control, therefore only doctors should be allowed to prescribe birth control. That will keep women safe, even though having a doctor involved didn’t remotely keep me safe.”

Why do you hate pharmacists so much? Did you get beat up by one or something?

I had my doctor prescribe pain pills and another drug... I went to fill them and my pharmacist was the one to ask if I’d have a seizure and when I said yes... she told me I couldn’t mix those pills.

The idea that women (and other people on birth control) are going to just grab a packet willy-nilly is absurd. The pharmacist will be prescribing a pill based on medical history, weight, other factors (migraines, endometriosis, etc) just as a doctor would. And will likely be more familiar with the range of drugs as…

It actually is like taking cough syrup. Any OTC medication has risks, and some people are affected more than others. Tylenol is an incredibly dangerous drug if not taken properly, as is cough syrup, which people often mix with other cold medications and wind up overdosing on tylenol or other ingredients without…

You realise that you can still talk to the pharmacist about medications even if you aren’t legally required to, right? How many people, if they had no idea about the different types of bc would just rock up and throw one in their cart all willy nilly without consulting the pharmacist?

My doctor put me on one brand, it made me nuts, I called, she switched the scrip to another brand. Nothing was delicately tuned to my body. When I asked for the seasonique one she said “okay sure.” Didn’t even require a visit. I think you are vastly overestimating this.

That’s why pharmacists go to pharmacy school. And why many become Pharm.Ds.

1 - I would suspect that there are a large amount of women who have been on BC for years that does work for them who would prefer to not be forced to schedule a doctor’s appointment to re-up on their prescription every time it runs out. This will be great for them. People who are new to BC should see a doctor - or if…

Regarding #2, the article says it will still require a prescription. It’s just allowing the pharmacist to write it rather than a doctor. According to the article, it should still be covered by insurance.

They argue that birth control should be entirely over-the-counter and easily available without a prescription.
