Seriously, if we believe a 14 year old is too immature to know how to take a pill, do we really think she’s adult enough to handle an unwanted pregnancy?
The truth is that the age restriction is completely arbitrary, tied only to our puritanical comfort levels. And listen, I get it; I think it’s fair to say that most people are uncomfortable with the idea of a 14 year old having sex. But here’s the thing - access to Plan B isn’t about keeping a 14 year old from having sex - by the time she gets to the pharmacy, that ship has sailed - it’s about keeping a 14 year old who has already had sex from getting pregnant. And despite what urban legend (or past embarrassing FDA memos) may tell you, making emergency contraception more available is not more likely to make young teens have sex - it will just make them less likely to end up pregnant.
We can’t let our discomfort with teen sex trump young people’s right to sexual and reproductive health and we can’t continue to let politics trump science. If we care about young women’s health and bodily autonomy and integrity, we’ll drop all age restrictions from emergency contraception. Anything less isn’t just illogical - it’s immoral.

Every once in a while I like to go on YouTube and watch videos of people stumbling through keyboard covers of Snap Yo Fingers by Lil Jon which seems like a really weird and specific thing to do but is absolutely worth it if you have the time
But during my most recent excursion I came across this video which is a fanmade music video for the song and holy shit
Some talking points about what you’re about to watch:
- It’s seven years old
- 1.3 million views which over seven years isn’t a lot I guess but you’ll understand why that’s notable after watching it
- The director clarifies that although the star of music video is indeed dancing in front of a Kentucky Fried Chicken, don’t worry, it’s not racist
- At one point the annotations bring attention to the fact that this video has white girls twerking in it so you’d better fricking strap in for that shit
- The conviction with which this girl A-Town downs is really admirable. She’s trying her best
- Apparently Lil Jon liked this music video so much he gave the guy who made it an iPod
She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning standing 4 feet 10 in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita.
