BREAKING NEWS: Planned Parenthood Flouting Illinois Law for Fun and Profit

I was skimming through LiveJournal and came across this:
==================

Free Emergency Contraception!!
Emergency Contraception is for you when you want it.

The Great EC Giveaway

May 11 5:30-7:00 p.m.

At Planned Parenthood Of East Central Illinois
302 East Stoughton
Champaign

No exam, no hassle, and NO MONEY!!

Fill out a short application and receive a box of Plan B - absolutely free!

Tell your friends, bring them with you, and come yourself.
======================

I have called Planned Parenthood and the woman who answered the phone confirmed this event is taking place sponsored by their education department.

The problem is that EC in Illinois still requires a prescription. They COULD have a qualified person on hand to write those presecriptions but unless people are planning on scheduling their “accidents” on May 10th, it’s clear they are putting these drugs in circulation for future use and not relating to any current issues. This is in complete disregard of the law. The notice itself makes clear this as well.

In short, they are giving away this prescription drug for free without a prescription knowing full well it is going to be stockpiled. This is flagrantly illegal. The police have been notified.

    1. I am opposed to the giving out of free emergency contraception. I ask you to not allow Planned Parenthood to do this.

    2. Prochoice type things are totaly wrong. The child who was concieved has every right to life just as you an I do, shame be on everyone who helps end innocent life through emergency drugs to stop a pregnancy or abortion.

    3. Interesting what you will unscreen and what you won’t. It’s a shame you continue to propagate the falsehoods surrounding emergency contraception. I respect your right to disagree with my opinion, but I don’t respect you basing it on lies.

    4. “Planned Parenthood” is the most evil oxymoron if ever there was one and it deserves to be aborted!

    7. BREAKING NEWS: Planned Parenthood Flouting Illino

      Then again, in this debate, no one ever seems to require them to use logic. They are simply allowed to duck the question altogether by making ad hominem attacks on the people who raise the question

    8. Unfortunately, this is hardly surprising. Planned Parenthood has cared little for laws before (like those regarding statutory rape and parental notification). Why should they start now?

    9. Hey I called PP and they said they are going to have applications to fill out, and then they are going to have a nurse practitioner on duty. I dunno, it still sounds sketchy to me…

      not to mention the fact that I think EC is equivocal to abortion… and is murder in every sense of the word.

    10. Good for you. Keep up the great (and alert) work.

    11. Law? What Law?
