George Pataki is a Sadist

George Pataki has used the powers vested in him to veto a bill that would have allowed pharmacies to freely distribute the morning-after pill without prescriptions. Why would he possibly veto such a bill? Why would this pill have to be prescribed in the first place? First off, let me describe the morning-after pill. Many people are misinformed on what this pill actually does.
There are a few different variations of the "morning-after pill", but they all have one thing in common. They contain very high doses of hormones, and sort of trick your body into thinking you're already pregnant. It is the same as birth control. It's just a high dose. This high dose must be taken within 72 hours, because that's how long it takes the spermy wormies to implant the egg. You can still take the morning-after pill after 72 hours, but then it would probably be considered a chemical abortion rather than sort of a "cock blocking" of the spermy wormy. I'll clarify, because this is important to the pro-life people.
If you take the pill within 72 hours, you are merely tricking your body, and preventing the sperm from implanting the egg. No harm, no foul. You're simply interfering with the impregnating process. Nothing is growing. However, after that 72 hours, something may be growing. We're talking a matter of millimeters here. You can still take the pill, and it can still be effective within a reasonable amount of time, and probably without negative effects. Massive doses of this hormone in the pill will cause an abortion, a miscarriage, a murder, whatever you want to call it. No matter how far along the woman is. Generally, if you take it within a week, you'll be fine. It's just that 72 hour mark that determines wether you're preventing birth in an emergency situation where some guy decided it was a good idea to cum inside you, or wether you're aborting a week old fetus, the size of a lima bean. More on all of this in a bit.
So that's that. However, I'm sort of speaking in a black market kind of way. Doctors will always tell you to never take it after 72 hours. Doctor Sick says that you'll be fine if you take it within a week. So what's Pataki's problem? What's his deal? What's his issue? What is wrong with a girl having the power to walk into a Walgreens and get the morning-after pill during her lunch break rather than make a doctor's appointment, call off work, spend a hundred bucks at the doctor, and THEN be prescribed the pill. What's wrong with cutting out the middle man? What happens if you fuck a guy on Friday night? The doctor is closed Saturday and Sunday. You are forced to goto the emergency room. If not, you're pregnant and you can't do shit about it at that point. Just because of the timing. So what the fuck is going on here? Enter insane Republican babble.
The CNN article goes on to say "Pataki, who had announced Sunday that he would veto the measure, said he was most upset that the bill did not require minors to see a physician. 'We can do better,' said the governor, who pledged to work with sponsors of the legislation to come up with a proposal he would sign."
Isn't that fucking lovely. It's the fucking minors who need this bill the most. What happens when 16 year old Michelle gets drunk and has sex at a party on Friday night. What does she do? She is forced to go tell her Dad how she got drunk and let 3 guys have sex with her. Right? Then Dad have the opportunity to beat the shit out of her. All because she couldn't just admit to being a fuck-up to herself and goto a Walgreens and get the shit she needs so she doesn't ruin her life by having a child at 16. Where is the fucking logic?
The pill isn't harmful. It isn't a dangerous pill. It isn't an abused pill. People aren't selling it on the streets. It's a fucking emergency contraceptive that is used when people realize they fucked up and they need to act quickly so they don't ruin their life with a child they can't take care of, thereby ruining that very child's life in the process. Why doesn't this elected leader of the most popular state in the entire nation get this? Enter shady motives.
Mr. Pataki isn't running for a 4th term as Governor. He has announced this. I wonder why that is. Could it be that he wants to focus all of his attention on the big 08? Many people, including the executive director of the New York chapter of Abortion Rights Action League believe it. And I believe it too. I've learned this: When politicians do absolutely senseless things, they are pandering to the senseless voter. The same as Hillary with her assault on GTA.
Pataki went on to say a few more interesting things, one of which I do sort agree with. But it's a confusing point."The governor said he wanted a limit on the number of pills that could be dispensed at one time and did not want men to be able to get them, as would have been permitted under the vetoed legislation. He also said the bill should require patients getting the morning-after pill to receive counseling on the health risks of unprotected sex."
One good point, and the rest is stupid fucking babble. Counseling? Give me a fucking break. I do sort of agree that men should not be allowed to get the pills. I don't like the idea of men being able to get the pill and slip it into a girls drink or food. However, what happens in a case where the woman wants the pill, but is too embarrassed to get it? This is a shady area, and a solution to this should have been in place in the legislation. It's not my fucking job to think of it. Like I said, that is a good point. But you can't say "no males". Besides, with a 72 hour time frame, why should a bitch have the right to say "your sperm is in me and I'm gonna have your baby and you will be attached to me for life" while she waits to be fertilized. I don't think that's fair at all. This is a confusing part of this issue.
I think that within those 72 hours, a guy has as much say as the girl does. This is in the same area as what happens when a girl you're having sexual relations with stops taking her birth control. Why should that man be responsible for a child he doesn't want when he was duped into creating it? I think legislation is needed here. I support a law when it effects someone's right to life, liberty, and property. A girl pulling a stunt like this, which I've seen happen a lot, effects all three. And it's perfectly legal. But no politician has the sack to do anything about it.
I'm just completely fed up with all of this shit. The pandering fake politicians. The fake democracy we live in. The old forcing the young to reproduce. Women popping out babies they can't take care of. Politicians forcing them to do so. Women getting pregnant in sneaky shady ways to keep their boyfriend. It's shit. Absolute shit. It's these fucking fake assholes like Pataki who fuck this Democracy up. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to veto the bill. None at all.
The only reason to veto the bill is to make it harder for girls to not get pregnant. Why would you want to do that? Why would anyone want to make it harder for a girl who made a mistake, to fix her mistake? I find that absolutely sadistic and evil, and I hope Pataki drops dead in his bathroom.

Matt,
I agree with you on most of your post. It should be legal to distribute the pill. I don't live my life with rose-colored glasses on. I realize people (kids) have sex. I had sex when I was a kid. I never said I was perfect. When you are young, you make mistakes. I believe as you that you don't have to bring an innocent new born child into a bad environment just as punishment. I do not agree in abortion, but I do not see this as abortion. This is not killing a life, yet. So we are agreed here.
I don't agree with the fact men shouldn't be responsible for the babies they are "duped" into having. The only true safe sex is to abstain from sex. Even if their girlfriends are on the pill, there is still a chance of pregnancy. Granted, it is a slight chance, but it happens. Its also a shady thing for the girl to do, but the guy picked the girl to have sex with.

Its weird when I was younger I would have definitely agreed with every word of this. But being old like I am and having young family members that I love it makes you want to be able to help them. If I were a parent I would sincerely want my child to come to me for help and together maybe we can figure it out.
It may all be moot though because a parent that cares to that degree I think is less likely to have a child make large errors in judgement like that.
I definitely think the pill should be available as a safer alternative to abortion. I just wouldnt want my daighter taking something like that without my knowledge.
If my child needs my consent to do nearly anything and there are other things that the state says they cant do (smoking, drinking, staying out late) then I really dont feel they are capable of making medical decisions.
Sometimes facing your mistakes head on is the only way to really get over them.
Just my 2cents
BTW welcome back

I'm glad to see we completely agree in the first half of your comment. I like it when I agree with religious people. Usually, I expect to completely disagree on everything. So it's neat to see.
To abstain from sex isn't be safe. It's bordering on paranoia. You can use that same logic and say the only safe way to live is to stay in one spot and never move. The chance of getting pregnant when on the pill is 1-2%. In scientific terms, it's pretty much impossible. I've never heard of it happening. If it has, its a 1 in a million sort of thing. Sorry, I just think that there can be many instances where a man does not have a legal and financial responsibility for a child.

Well James, it's terrible to say, but you're in the minority. And I wish it weren't true. If we lived in a different America, I'd be on the same side as you. You see, the nuclear family is all but dead in America. It's a rarity it seems. There are so many bad Dads. More so than good. A lot more. And that's the sad truth. If this weren't true, I would agree with you that the parents should at least be notified.
But in the end, no matter how young the girl, she's a person and has the right to make her own decision. In a perfect world, a daughter her made a mistake would goto her Dad, a guy like you, and everything would be fine and she would receive the pill along with advice and words that will keep her straight for a long time to come. But that sort of ideal situation would be rare. It sucks, but it's the way it is. I blame liberalism.
Anyway, I'm basically saying the majority of girls needing the morning-after pill probably come from bad homes as it is, and a law like this is needed for them. The majority I believe don't come from good homes. And that's why you're in the minority, and it's a sad thing to see. I wish it were different.
Thanks for the comment man, that one made me think.
Just to be a smart allec, 1-2% is not one in a million. More like 1 or 2 out of one hundred.
PJ
Oh I agree the girls that will need it probably come fomr a broken home or whatever. I pretty much agree I just hate it.
Except for one point. I dont think you have the right ot make your own decision no matter how young you are. Thats what parents are for. Good or bad it is their job to take care of their kids. The government cant interfere with that.
PJ
When I said 1-2%, I was referring to what Doctors say. One in a million is the reality. It never happens if taken exactly as prescribed without taking medicine that interferes with the pill.
James
This is where it get's interesting. You are right when you say that a female minor doesn't have the right to make their own decisions. However, when they're faced with an adult problem, then it gets very complex.
Should a 13 year old have the right to choose wether she wants to have a baby or not? Can a mother or father force their child to have keep a pregnancy? Or can they force them to get an abortion?
That's the complex issue. When the person under 18 is faced with that adult issue, an issue that will effect them literally every day until the day they die, do they have the right to make their own decision?
It's a tough one, but I lean towards yes. They do have the right. And I think in the ideal case, it should be done with the full emotional support and with the decision being made in unison with the parent(s). But when it comes down to it, in that case, I just think that the minor with the major problem needs to make that decision for themselves. And hopefully they will make the right choice.
By the way, another good thought provoking comment, James. Much appreciated.
Matt,
I agree with you on this blog about the pill but must say that if men don't want to have a baby, you must use a condom (we all know it's not 100%, but better than nothing)to protect yourself. You can't tell people to not have sex because that just isn't going to happen.
It's as simple as never believing a women about birth control. Men need to protect themselves too.
