Not sure that’s a full men don’t understand vaginas gotcha, though I’m sure most politicians are morons and don’t know anything about anything. I imagine the point stands that lots of people think Plan B is an abortion pill and not a block pregnancy post-coitus pill.
I agree with this, but if someone (doesn’t seem like these people) is going hard in the paint about how Plan B kills embryos, then they are going to need to be able to discuss the mechanism to some extent. Generally, those people can’t do it either.
The dumbness of the concept extends beyond drugs. It’s like saying only mechanics should be allowed to set speed limits. LOL THESE OUT OF TOUCH POLITICIANS DON’T EVEN KNOW HOW TO FIX BRAKES!
I think the nuance she is going for is trying to distinguish the difference between contraception and abortion, which understanding doesn’t require knowledge of the actual medical mechanics of Plan B. She’s doesn’t bring it home though.
I thought it it went ovulation → intercourse → insemination. I was definitely not aware that post-intercourse ovulation results in pregnancy, I thought the egg already had to be there.
Also did not know that it can take up to 5 or 6 days for the sperm and the egg to meet.
