Ooooooooooooooooooooooh ok, so let's go ahead and remove the age restrictions on alcohol and tobacco, too, since there are ways of people getting around it.
In fact, we should all just leave our front doors open at night since it's possible to break into a house anyway.
While I agree that the age restriction is sort of counter-productive to the purpose of the pill, and that enforcement will have its difficulty, this line of reasoning is, in my opinion, stupid. How can you justify lifting restrictions on something because "some people will find a way around it" and won't get caught?
Using that faulty rationale,
all laws should be rescinded because some people will find a way around them, or will get away with breaking them.
