    It’s called plan B in the US? We call it “the morning-after pill” where I live. I think it’s a bit more self-explanatory.

        Back in my day we called it RU-486. Always reminded me of a Russian computerized submarine.

          That is for an abortion, not for preventing a pregnancy from occurring. The difference is insanely and stupidly important for religious fascists.

      You know, theoretically, it is possible to order the raw pharmaceutical ingredients to make Plan B, in bulk, directly from overseas manufacturers who don’t ask too many questions. For three hundred you could order enough raw ingredients to make enough doses that you could measurably alter the birth rate of a small nation state.

    Sadly this is no longer true of Costco where I live. You now need a membership to use their pharmacy in at least my part of the US.

    Edit: See below, sounds like I was wrong

      Most front end employees do not know that federal regulations supersede their authority. Politely ask to see a manager.

      Pharmacies are regulated by the FDA (for now anyway. Who knows what things will look like a month from now) and pharmacies cannot bar customers from using their services.

      Edit: Here is the official Costco policy

      Dude, I’m so fucking reluctant to say this because we get this all the time as vegans, but…

      Antinatalists make antinatalism look obnoxious as fuck.
