Can a woman in Texas get the "morning after" pill through the mail?

[CTyankee]

Just wondering...

[PortTack]

1. I do think so...it's available on Amazon

[AZSkiffyGeek]

2. Morning after pill is OTC and not the same as RU-486

RU-486 requires a prescription and I'm not sure about the answer to that. I've seen a lot of mentions about places that will ship it though.

RU-486 is legal (for now, or at least as of 8/31) through 10 weeks.

3. There is probably something in the law that prohibits it...

but I really do not know for sure.

But if it is prohibited, I can guess what women will be doing.

They will have the pill procured by an out of state friend, and their friend will ship it to them under a fake return address.

That's what I would be doing, anyway.

5. So they can sue the mailcarrier for delivering it. nt

[LuckyCharms]

8. Well, apparently, anyone can sue anyone else in Texas, even if

they have no standing.

Since a mail carrier has no way of determining what is in a package, I doubt if any reasonable judge would find him/her guilty of violating this "law".

But you're right...as it stands now, someone would indeed try to sue the mail carrier, the USPS, the company who made the box that the pill is packaged in, and the office supply store who sold the pen to write the person's address on the package.

21. No. Plan B doesn't cause an abortion. It works by preventing ovulation.

24. Important point! Thank you.

There are those who paint Plan B as an abortion pill when it is not in order to confuse the issue. It is a contraceptive.

4. Then the postperson is in trouble?

7. Surely they'd have to know what they were delivering ?

9. A nosy 3rd-party could sue DeJoy.

Just a thought.

11. Sue the mailman

13. Postmaster Louie?

Louie, you lie!
oh, baby, said away you go!

12. The morning after pill can't cause an abortion no matter when it's btaken

And it's OTC.

It is NOT the abortion pill, RU-486.

So it shouldn't be capable of violating Texas law. No lawsuit

14. Beware. She might order it just so she can snitch on her mailman for facilitating abortion.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

17. The morning after bill is not an abortifacent, and anyone can mail order it at any time.

[CTyankee]

19. I know. It's taken to prevent a pregnancy, tho, and if the woman has it already, it is a kind of

birth control.

[hlthe2b]

18. Please do not confuse the so-called "morning after pill" with RU486.

The former is birth control after the fact for a short time (up to 120 hours) to prevent fertilization by delaying the release of the egg and is thus NOT an abortifacient. Also known as "Plan B."

RU486, on the other hand, IS an abortion-inducing combination of two drugs.

[CTyankee]

20. So women in Texas can have those just in case. Are condoms still legal?

[hlthe2b]

22. Condoms of course will remain legal-- Men, after all ALWAYS get freedom of choice

Got to protect those TX men from the so-called "conniving woman" who might want to take his money for child support, after all (though she might have to move out of state to get a court to grant her any)...



This is all about the control/subjugation of women.

23. Yup. I'm a 3rd generation Texan but that stops with ME.
