In the United States, emergency contraception is available over the counter to all women over age 18. What are the pros and cons of this decision?

Please provide peer review/reply to the following:

Joshua:

Emergency contraception being made available to women creates an environment that allows young women the opportunity to justify their existence and right to choose by accepting responsibility for their bodies. It facilitates a mindset of empowerment and helps create a culture that teaches irresponsible attitudes towards sex, and having it. On the other side of the aisle are groups opposed to premarital sex and supporting other choices with public funds rather than placing the responsibility on the individual. The ideas overlap when justification for emergency contraception becomes an issue of making it free or tax payer funded. In the areas of society where income levels are lower and opportunities to participate in unsafe sexual practices are more frequent due to attitudes and economic ideologies, the need is understood. Facilitating the argument that making contraception easily accessible simultaneously creates an attitude of entitlement in young adults and promotes a general liability due to removing consequences of sex. If we are allowing people to treat sex and pregnancy with minimal regard, then we are creating a generation susceptible to less personal responsibility. We are also creating a desensitized view on the benefits of procreation as well as the consequences of sex for merely pleasure. The attitudes are conflicting, and I personally support both sides right to disagree, however if the choice was mine to make, I would support the availability of contraception because I support an individual’s right to choose. However, the reality that unprotected sex carries with it pleasure but also consequences, should not be easily erased as conveniently as needed because of the popular opinion. I do not support the idea of quick over the counter abortive measures because that is conveniently disposing of a poor decision through use of medication. It is creating a generation that is making a physical pleasure a political one and forcing non-supporters to financially support a lack of respect for consequences. It is also making sexual expression and experiences priority when coupled with long term goals and everyday life choices. Without consequences to remind young people of how precious time and life are, how can we expect them to ever truly accept responsibility. If we collectively make it easier to avoid personal responsibility when sex is involved, then we can only expect a collective attitude of entitlement to shift into other areas of society. I am not unrealistic, and I am aware that sex is a reality, it happens, sometimes without any consideration except the immediate satisfaction, but to defend such poor, uneducated decision making for whatever reason, is a defeatist attitude. Personal responsibility, planning, and regard for life are lessons that build a character that changes the world for the better, rather than a selfish one that justifies deliberate disregard.
