Birth control error raises ethical and financial questions
Which raises a serious question: What if you end up pregnant because of the packaging mix-up?
Is Pfizer offering to cover the cost of the pregnancy or terminating the pregnancy?
Or to pay for other health-related costs, like the cost of buying another form of birth control?

Is Pfizer offering to cover the cost of the pregnancy or terminating the pregnancy?
Excuse me, ma’am, but the natural termination of a pregnancy is birth. Why don’t you ask what you really want to know: Will Pfizer help women snuff their unplanned HUMAN BEINGS?
This is another reason for young people to learn about natural family planning. Using planning and behavior, you can enjoy your relationship and not fill your body with hormones and chemicals it doesn’t need. Just a thought. (I think it’s hilarious that people I know won’t drink out of plastic water bottles, but think nothing of taking daily doses of a pill they don’t need…)

Thank you for pointing that out, ninek. I HATE when they refer to it as “terminating a pregnancy”. That’s exactly what I’VE pointed out…BIRTH is the “termination of a pregnancy”, abortion is the “termination” of your CHILD.
Also agree with the rest of your post, btw. ;)

Actually dead or alive the child still goes through a birth process.
