While you may think that being on a conference call from 4-5pm on a Friday equals torture, I actaully just learned someting amazing. The NY State comptroller's office did a study in 2003 to see how much money would be saved if access was improved to emergency contraception, or EC (Note: this is the "morning after pill" and not RU-486-if you still are confused read more here).
If access to EC was improved even by half, the state would save....wait for it....
over $400 million annually. Do you know what we could do with that money? Suggestions?
It has been one of my missions of late to make sure all my friends know about EC, know that is it birth control-not an abortion, and know how to get it. Ask you doctor for a prescription to have around 'just in case.' You could save the state, and yourself a lot of money and stress. Alright, I'm stepping down from my soapbox now.
One more semi-related point: Jesus was the result of an unintended pregnancy. Discuss.

I'm pretty sure God Our Heavenly Father intended Jesus' birth. Why would he bother knocking up the Virgin Mary (full of grace) if he hadn't. Discuss that you jesus hater.
