| 25.39% | Yes | |
| 74.6% | No |
Comment: no because if they think they are old enough to be having sex then they should step up to the plate if the get pregnant. the morning after pill is just as bad as getting an abortion. from pensacola, fl by noel
Comment: The morning after pill should not be available for any woman. If you can not respect life at its very beginnings, we can not respect life at any other point in time.Women need to take responsiblity for their actions instead of desiring to kill what they have helped create. from Crestview, FL by Lil
Comment: I think the parents should be involved. If the girl is raised with the right values she will come to her parents for help and support. from milton/florida by cynthia
Comment: So one should thank more of the day after that the time before the sex. This federal judge is back a** backward. Murder is still murder. from Navarre, Florida by Otto
Comment: As a Christian country abortion shouldn't even be tolerated from Pensacola,Florida by Craig
Comment: No, absolutely not. Why does the government want to do what the parents should be doing? Teaching their children. We don't need the Democratic party telling us what we can and can'd do. It should stay at age 18. from Pensacola by Charles
Comment: Side question: When are you at WSRETV going to question something important like WWW.FAIRTAX.ORG and get Americans to thinking about kissing the IRS GOODBYE!!!??? from Pensacola by Charles
Comment: Girls younger than 18 are minors and should have parental involvement in birth control. from Niceville FL by Gary
Comment: If this is allowed to happen the parents will lose yet another control over their children. from Pensacola, FL by Wanda
Comment: No,the parent has the right to know what medications their child is taking. It would also hide the situation from the parent and not allow the parent to intervene in the situation. Not only that it makes it way too easy and if we are not careful Plan B will become Plan A. from Fort Walton Beach,FL by Alison
Comment: I absolutely do think girls of all ages should have straight access to Plan B without a prescription! It stops the worry of a pregnancy before it actually becomes and cuts the worry of terminating a pregnancy later in which you do not need a prescription for! from Pensacola Fl by Rachael
Comment: This is a joke ...at least I hope adults would be more responsable and take care of business at home instead of letting a pill be a "fix all" You can tell by this poll outcome the "Center for Reproductive Rights" is another lime lighter needing attention. The poll tells you they dont speak for the majority or even the hell close to it.Perhaps the Center for Reproductive Rights" needs a "moring before pill" for such a pathetic brain fart as this. from Pensacola,FL by D
Comment: I believe that all girls/women that are of child bearing age,should be able to control what happens with their lives, and that includes when or if they should be pregnant. from Milton by Dawn
Comment: I think that it should be available to all ages due to the fact all these teenagers girls are having these babies and depending on welfare to take care of them so do us all a favor and make it available to all ages from Pensacola, FL by Wendi
Comment: It's a tragedy when unintended pregnancy impacts a young woman's entire life. This medication will allow many to live a much better life - as well as mitigate the negative impact on future generations. from Pensacola / FL by JR
Comment: Yes! Morning after pill should be available to all ages and over-the-counter from Bluewater Bay by Bruce
Comment: Absolutely not! However if the individual in question has been emancipated as an adult, she has very right and a legal standing to make this choice for herself, if she hasn't then this is a parental decision to make for the minor, allmedications of this type should be by prescription only and no one should have to go through this type of decision alone. from Pensacola by Kathy
Comment: I think it would prevent more teenage pregnancies. from gulf breeze/florida by patience
Comment: No! This would lure teens into making critical decisions without the advise of caring parents that have tremendous insight & wisdom regarding the situation. Not to mention that most parents care very much for their children & want to help them make very important decisions. from Milton by Hunter
Comment: it is the right thing to do. it will save the nation and its tax-payers from ADDITIONAL expenses later to care for the child and its irresponsible parents... from p'cola fl by h
Comment: By allowing young people to avoid a visit to the physician then you allow the treatment of STDs and other conditions that are discovered during the exam. Young people are most at risk for complications due from non treatment as well as spreading the disease to others because of non treatment. Another creepy fact is when you have men coming in to buy several because they are "going to party." from Milton, FL by Evie
Comment: If voted in it possiblely would prevent many unwanted pregnancies. from Crestview, FL by Ernest R.
Comment: The aids percentage will be even larger.This is just giving them permission to have more unpertected sex. from pensacola fl by Katrina
Comment: The aids percentage will be even larger.This is just giving them permission to have more unpertected sex. from pensacola fl by Katrina
Comment: No I do not think it should be available! Its like we are telling the teenagers its ok to have sex, and they dont have to worry about it because if they get pregnant there is a pill to fix it! from Cantonment by Dawn
Comment: Under the age of 18 is still by law a minor. from Pensacola, Fl by Kelly
Comment: The morning after pill, birth control and abortions are not subsitiutes for responsible parenting. If girls under 18 are taught to respect thier bodies, this would not be an issue. Girls under 18 parents/ guardians are STILL ressponsible for them. from Pensacola by Lori
Comment: Definitely not! That is a recipe for disaster. It is immoral, promotes promiscuity and an unhealthy lifestyle. Young girls just need to learn to say "no" and mean it without the judges and the government getting involved. from Pensacola, FL by Mary Ann
Comment: It shouldn't be available to anyone. It's wrong, plain and simple.
Comment: We are opposed to the under 18 age group receiving the morning after pills. This is an approval of immoral relations. from Milton, FL by Lois
Comment: To me it the same as abortion. If I understand the way it works. If your conceive you are expecting a child regardless. You are either with child or your not.. from Niceville ,Fl by Teresa
Comment: Include in the pills something that will sterilize the promiscious little rascals from Pensacola,Fl. by Speedy
Comment: Something needs to help stop all these irresponsible young girls from having babies with no jobs or Daddys. from Robertsdale, Al by Charlotte
Comment: Not for youngsters. There should be a minimum age. from Gulf Breeze, FL by Carol
Comment: this is disgusting...have we no regard for human life that now girls barely out of the womb can choose to murder what is livng and breathing inside of theirs? from Pensacola/Florida by Jennifer
Comment: no girls under 18 should not be offered the morning after pill. if they are old enough to have sex than they should be old enough to know to use protection. let them go through the 9 months of being preg. then if they dont want it there are many couples out there willing to take on the responsability of a baby. from pensacola fl by Jen
Comment: I don't think it should be given to anyone. girls are using it like birth control. from Pace florida by Barbara
Comment: A lack of contraceptives will only result in more teen pregnancies. from Fort Walton Beach, Fl by Fred
Comment: No, Parents need to know what their children are doing. This would only make it easier for teenagers to NOT think about what they are about to do and NOT use good judgement. They need all the help we can give them. from Pensacola, Florida by J.
Comment: "Emergency Contraceptive" the name says it all. Yet anyone already proving such poor judgment won't have good judgement to use prescription level medications. from Mossy Head by Bill
Comment: Not old enough to drive. Not old enough to vote. Certainly not old enough to make such weighty decisions without seeing a doctor or involving their parents. Such a decision is a danger to our children and to families. I am totally opposed. from Pensacola, FL by Peggy
Comment: It will mean fewer abortions. I am all for it! from pensacola fl by meghan
Comment: NOPE! from Pensacola, FL by Lisa
Comment: What is wrong with trying abstainance as a form of birth control. I do believe that until the sexual revolution back in the 60's, we as a society survived quite nicely with abstainance. from Mary Esther, Fl. by Tom
Comment: This is a safe and effective way to prevent unwanted pregnancy, especially for teens! In Europe it is available in school clinics--their teen pregnancy rate is much lower. from Pensacola, FL by Dixie
