Coffee shop giving out free Plan B triggers flood of calls to Texas town's police

When the Tumbleweed + Sage Coffeehouse started giving away free contraceptive kits in late July, word spread fast, and calls flooded the Texas town’s police department.

Each kit comes packed with two Plan B pills, pregnancy tests and condoms, plus an instruction pamphlet. Anyone who needs a kit is welcome to come inside and take one, or ask at the drive-thru.

“You’re allowed to rest in our cafe, do whatever you need to do. We’re here for you,” owner Destiny Adams said in a social media post, announcing that her Wolfforth coffee shop had begun offering the kits.

As of Aug. 18, they’ve given away at least 75 kits, many to young women and mothers, Adams told McClatchy News.

available police or jail cells for all the drug dealers, thieves, racist murderers (oh wait -- those are probably police), and rapists (oh wait -- in Texas only the victims are punished). If Beto becomes governor, he won't have much free time.

As intended by the WASP powers-that-be.

The rest of us need to "just comply". Oh, wait.

The repugs don't want law-n-order if it applies to them; just to everyone else.

Sometimes our carefully crafted words are just confusing - mine especially!
