Its not the price that worries me it’s the, 'Don't worry baby, we will go and get the morning after pill tomorrow.' angle that does.

Would you care to state who those people are that you would like "out of the gene pool"? This is not at all consistent with some of your other statements on reproduction. Speaking as someone who's sitting at the cabana at the moment, but not yet in the gene pool...

One thing to remember is that every one of us who is alive today is here because of an unbroken chain of people who reproduced. The desire to not reproduce is as big a flaw, genetically, as sterility. In the end it doesn't matter what you do, your line has ended. The types of people who tend to commit genetic suicide also tend to be the types of people who I think are flawed in their political views. And really you have to wonder, if someone does not seem to think species survival is important, just how sound their judgement is when it comes to other matters of survival. Rejecting what is basic, 4 billion years old, and necessary for survival, for whatever reason, makes you have to trust their judgement in other matters. Now obviously just using this plan b or any other birth control doesn't mean you won't reproduce, hell my wife was on the pill for 10 years, but I would like to keep it safe and easy for all who wish it and I'd hate for them to have an accident, though they can always have an abortion.
Now while this may seem cold and calculating, its not. I simply want people to live their lives in a manner that works for them, and if there are benefits in the long run, all the better.
